> I’m not sure who this car is for

People couldn't figure out what to do with airplanes other than racing them. Until WW1, when it was first used for observation.

I wonder if this technology will revive the jet pack. At least it won't set your ankles on fire! And it's a lot simpler than a jet engine.

This would be a step backwards for jet packs, which can currently do minutes of flight, using a tank of high pressure air would reduce that back to seconds

A jet pack that flies for 10 seconds and then needs 6 hours of recharging ?
