Stuck in traffic? Just fly away (some day)

The Geneva Motor Show is famous for showcasing dazzling supercars, like the Italdesign vehicle so special that only five will be created in 2017.

The car's V10 engines will rocket the car to 60 mph in a little over three seconds.
Italdesign unveiled something else on Wednesday that really flies. As in, really, it flies

It's a concept vehicle developed in co-operation with European airplane manufacturer Airbus (EADSF). It looks a bit like a Smart car. The design resembles a ball riding on a four-wheeled chassis.

Then there's a separate giant drone. If the car gets stuck in heavy traffic, the drone arrives overhead, can fly down, attach itself to the roof of the car, and pick up the ball-shaped passenger compartment.
