Volkswagon Delivers the Hover Car

This is what everyone has been waiting for. An actual hover car that isn't just a jacked up helicopter.

Of course it's only a concept, but this is how it will eventually work.

The hovercraft, as seen in the concept video above, uses electromagnetic levitation to float along its own grid above the regular road network; distance sensors keep the craft from colliding with other vehicles. The disc-shaped pod seats two people and is controlled by a joystick that offers amazing maneuverability. The car can move both back-and-forth and side-to-side and can even spin on an axis. To top it off, the concept car produces zero emissions.
