Yes, if there is more than one Moller "skycar" in the
air, they need a computer to find out, where the other
guy is, in order of to stay out of each other's way.
However as I see it, your future transportation will
have an elctrostatic field, and will repel anything
else in the neighbourhood (or it will get repelled).
I am thinking about a computer, that will run simple
commands, use a CD with the local maps and will show
your position. And the price will probably about
$50,000. Or even less. If you could look into the
work of the futurist, who drew the "Dick Tracy"
cartoons, you will find a vehicle very much in the
shape of future airplanes. And they will be noiseless,
non-polluting and collision-proof. And the private
transportation will be about the size of you family
sedan.

Hi Folks!

This article is about the Moller 'SkyCar'. He's been
promoting this since I was in grade school but he
makes good
points about a computerized control system for all the
flying vehicles that would be in the air;
