Gadgets & Gizmos: Flying cars & mass-produced humanoid robots, a desk bike & a folding e-bike
Steve Caplin celebrates the arrival of a flying car, though with a slow terrestrial speed. He also looks at modular jets, how electric planes could be powered by lasers on the ground, at the first mass-produced humanoid robot, at a desk bike that keeps you fit while powering your devices, at Honda's ebike that folds into a briefcase and at the development of a flexible soft robot that can heal like a living organism and even self destruct into an oily puddle (thanks of course to diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate).
