New Vehicle Invention – Wouldn’t it be nice?

I ran across this vehicle and found it fascinating.

Something like this could really have come in handy two nights ago as I was on my way home from Runde Auto Group and stuck in traffic for about 25 minutes while waiting to cross the Julien Dubuque bridge on Highway 20.  Let’s face it … that bridge closes all too often leaving motorists wondering what’s going on and hoping that they won’t be stuck in traffic for too long.  Once you’re stuck, you’re faced with the option of waiting it out and hoping that traffic will start moving quickly in a few minutes … or the alternative of turning around and driving back a couple miles through the Hazel Green township and crossing the Mississippi river using the Wisconsin bridge.

Even though the “vehicle” in the video below literally takes off, I’m skeptical if this vehicle invention will really “take off” and become a mainstream thing, but wouldn’t it be nice. I would definitely save a lot of time and gas money with one of these, but I can’t help but wonder how long it would take the fire department to get me out of a set of power lines …
