In a bid to reduce congested automobile traffic, skyTran and Israel Aerospace Industry have teamed up to create Judy Jetson-style sky cars using magnetic levitation technology.
The idea of installing sky cars over Israel has been considered for quite some time, the idea being that elevated traffic reduces pollution and congestion from traditional automobiles.
Each of the cars can hold two people and travel up to 45 mph. Once testing proves successful, they will likely be able to travel at much faster speeds. Users will be able to call up a car from their smart phones.
The system should be ready for testing in Tel Aviv in 2015, with future systems likely to be set up in India, USA, and France.
