I hope so!! I'd definitely want to take a spin
I've often wondered why cars couldn't be propelled by opposing magnetics. I guess cuz most of the car would need to be plastic or rubber. But the harder you push the accelerator the closer the opposing magnets come together and the faster the wheels spin kinda thing.Jan 30, 2019 14:48:18 #

I dunno, they have a 500 mile working model in Nevada. Imagine being able to go on vacation to Florida or new Mexico or Vegas and being there in a couple of hours WITHOUT plane check in and etc

I hope that's not true. And oil would still be needed, cuz we would still need planes for international travel, and cars.
