None of the rocket versions (and probably also the "suction" version neither) will be road legal. The cold gas thrusters they use are incredibly loud (and unsafe for anyone standing around) and the fan system spits out any debris on the road towards the cars behind it.

    FDA has decided it is okay to poison food and EPA has decided it's okay to poison the water..What makes you think automotive safety laws.will.be upheld?

    The car is ridiculously expensive. So it's not like a poor will.be driving it causing problems for.the rich.

    Pretty sure society has decided rich people.can.cause problems at the expense of others and commit crimes as much as they want.

    Well the one shown was only for show, but they announced they plan on selling it as an actual car. (It has to be said, that they already had announced a new roadster car 10 years ago and haven't produced even one production ready car.. so better not take their plans seriously at all)
