One way to avoid peak hour traffic is by flying over it, and it may be more affordable than you think.

 
Jetpack Aviation is testing the first legal bike to cruise the skies at its California facilities.

Dubbed ‘the Speeder’, it has eight small, powerful jet engines allowing the aircraft to carry up to 600 pounds and fly at a maximum 60 miles per hour speed for about 30 minutes.

Multiple sensors throughout the aircraft are able to detect and automatically avoid any obstacles, including buildings and trees.

The tick of approval for the Speeder is still years away, but pre-orders have already begun, with prices starting at $381,000.
