One of DUs favorite non-political controversies: The Air Car.
I was just doing a search and bumped into this new article on the Air Car. Apparently - if ABC news can still be relied on to tell the truth sometimes - it exists, at least as a prototype, and works. What say you Air Car naysayers?

1. My car.

I will not own another car unless it is an air car.

I live in San Diego, but I'll probably have to go to Canada to get one.

3. It was not mentioned in the article
If braking is obtained by re compressing the air. That way the compression would not only supply the power but also slow or stop the car while at the same time recapturing energy by re compressing the air for future use.
