Finally, A Hovercraft We Can All Enjoy: Honda’s F-UZO
It’s called the Honda F-UZO, ladies and gentlemen, and it’s an actual hovercraft.
No, seriously, a hovercraft. Granted, right now it’s just a concept in the twisted minds of Honda engineers, but you know how these things start! Everybody’s got to start somewhere, and the F-UZO is exactly the start we need.
The F-UZO is controlled with a dual-joystick array, with the left joystick to spin the car on its axis, and the right joystick to manage tilt and direction. There are also pedals for power and brake.
A kind of fly-by-wire system, driven in turn by GPS, keeps cars from colliding, but in the event you should hit something not regulated by GPS, there are both interior AND exterior airbags, so not only are you protected, whoever you hit also gets the benefit of protect.
This is so awesome it hurts, and I only hope these are put into production. And soon, too.
