Flying car
The Parajet SkyCar is a flying car, now in production, developed
by British paramotor manufacturer Parajet. It utilises a paramotor and a ParaWing (a parafoil) attached to
a road worthy vehicle to achieve sustained level flight. Should the engine fail, the vehicle can glide back
to the ground. In the event of catastrophic wing failure, car connection system failure or mid-air collision,
an emergency ballistic reserve parachute would be deployed. It requires three minutes to convert it from a
car to an aircraft.[1] The prototype model runs on biodiesel and is fully road-legal.

Plug in hybrid
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), also known as a plug-in hybrid, is a hybrid
vehicle with rechargeable batteries that can be restored to full charge by connecting a plug to an
external electric power source. A PHEV shares the characteristics of both a conventional hybrid electric
vehicle, having an electric motor and an internal combustion engine; and of an all-electric vehicle, also
having a plug to connect to the electrical grid. Most PHEVs on the road today are passenger cars, but
there are also PHEV versions of commercial vehicles and vans, utility trucks, buses, trains,
motorcycles, scooters, and military vehicles.

The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid electric car slated to go on sale in 2010

Hy-wire cars

The Hy-wire (Hydrogen drive-by-wire) is a concept car from General Motors originally introduced in

January 2002[1]. The car runs on hydrogen fuel cells and uses a drive-by-wire system, meaning that the
car is controlled electronically. GM asked school children to name the car, and one of them suggested
"Hy-wire".
