Where's my flying car? Try here

The 1950s vision of a futuristic world full of flying cars is now closer to a reality as Terrafugia release vidieo of their latest car/plane hybrid.

AS carmakers go, Terrafugia is a niche company. In fact, let's call it "super-niche" - because Terrafugia makes flying cars.

They're not as cool-looking as the rides you've seen in movies and comic books since you were a kid, but they are cars, and they do fly - and Terrafugia's latest model goes one step further.

That model is called the Terrafugia XF-T. And their video reveal of the concept shows it expands on the company's existing Transition vehicle by offering helicopter-like rotors, which allow the XF-T to take off and land vertically.

According to the folks at US-based Terrafugia, flying the XF-T "should be statistically safer than driving a modern automobile". That's in part because the XF-T "will be capable of automatically avoiding other air traffic, bad weather, and restricted and tower-controlled airspace".

Some of us look at Terrafugia and shrug, convinced that this is, quite literally, a whole lot of pie in the sky. But Terrafugia appears in it to win it - and has been pushing hard on developing their folding-wing Transition model.

Though the Transition has been significantly delayed in rolling out to consumers, it has been approved by the US Department of Transportation and by the Federal Aviation Administration. In short, the Transition won't be a high-volume vehicle, but it's clearly on its way.

For now, we'll assume that the company feels equally strongly about the XF-T.

Where's Wally GIF ruins it for everyone

REMEMBER those days where an entire afternoon was spent staring at the Where's Wally book trying desperately to find that odd bespectacled man who never changed out of his red and white striped skivvy and matching beanie?

Those days are over. Gone. Ruined. By one over zealous Reddit user who has taken the fun out of Where's Wally by creating an animated GIF that finds him for you.

Thanks to user Swiftapple, it takes just seconds instead of minutes (or sometimes hours) to find Wally.
The Reddit user presumably wanted to ensure Wally lived on in the internet age but by doing so he's just ruined it.

For everyone.

Swiftapple also referred to Wally as Waldo, which, while not technically incorrect is frowned upon. The first book was published in the UK with the title Where's Wally but was later changed to Waldo for regions including the US and Canada.

You're doing it wrong.
