I think I am confused, did it really fly for a moment?

It flew twice, from the ramp and from parked.

I'm not sure what application that has, but if anybody can pull that off successfully it would be Elon Musk.

Ok, but why??? I looks like it just kind of jumps into the air and then lands?

That's kind of my take on it Bill. I've saw videos where it can flip and jump but can it fly for 50 miles? I doubt it. I don't really see a point in doing what I saw but I guess you have to crawl before you fly.

I'd like to see someone carjack one of those. I look at what it does and am amazed that they have put together a automobile with that ability. Using compressed air. Compressed air that the car can compress repeatedly on demand. It's too bad it has been introduced now, when AI can fake the demonstration for the media. There are probably people who believe that it still can't be done.
