This metromorph feels like its simply something out of a futuristic sci fi movie scene rather than something that we would really contemplate using. I hope you won't be trying to sell the flying car concept out of blade runner next, no thanks mate. Not the kind of world I envision living in.

In our future, will we still create or redevelop cities around cars? Is that the way forward or more of the same? Secondly, this car only works the way it is designed by you living in a building that can use its elevator capability which goes into the way housing and cities are organized and built for urban development. As to it being sustainable, I think that is a bit of a stretch, since living, working and shopping are now built using the concept of mixed spaces. Urban farming ( if it is developed) would greatly reduce our Co2 and our need for cars with the continued expansion of green trains, trams, bicycle lanes and generally things being in easy access for the city dweller. Other than that, it looks very cool. This got my attention, but then it raised plenty of new questions. In our future, will we still create or redevelop cities around cars?
