Now that we're living in the future which of these absolutely adorable machines would you have, if you could only have one?

Hoverbike:

Jetpack:

Flying Car:

The hoverbike isn't as "hoverbikey" as I'd like, and as such the jetpack is a clear winner. I've never seen anything I wanted more than that thing. Oh hell yes!

I don't see an option for a poll for some reason.

It's a jetpack, you dinglebat. Always.

With one stipulation...

that hover bike is a death trap!

that said, a proper hover bike that didn't amputate my limbs or decapitate bystanders would be my preference....

None of the above.

Consumer technology is just way too unreliable to risk using anything that's going to fall out of the sky when it stops working.

Course, I suppose if such a thing was built to aircraft-industry standards it might be a different story.
Trouble is that'd mean your "hover bike" would end up looking like a Robinson R22 and cost £60k.

If vehicle manufacturing companies were that worried about consumer safety we wouldn't have smart cars.
