The Transition® street-legal flying car is a plane with wings that can fold up, allowing it to drive on normal roads. It gets about 35mpg on land and goes through about 5 gallons per hour in the air.

Soon enough we’re going to see flexible e-paper replacing the currently fragile e-readers, like the Kindle or Nook. LG is starting to mass-produce flexible e-paper, which is a bendable screen.
