If you thought <keyword id="21135616" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="flying-cars" source="keywords">flying cars</keyword> were a distant fantasy or belonged only to the realm of Harry Potter, we have some news for you! The American state of <keyword id="20120516" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Minnesota" source="keywords">Minnesota</keyword> has taken a step closer to making them a reality of the present, as it is set to formally recognise flying cars as a legitimate category of vehicles allowed to use its roads. In a foresightful move, <keyword id="21773690" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Minnesota-Governor" source="Orion">Minnesota Governor</keyword> <keyword id="4300994" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tim-Walz" source="Orion">Tim Walz</keyword> recently signed a bipartisan transportation bill package into law. This legislation includes a provision for <keyword id="21773686" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="roadable-aircraft" source="keywords">roadable aircraft</keyword> — essentially flying cars. Key regulations within the bill outline the process for state registration of these roadable aircraft, thus paving the way for their use on Minnesota’s roads and highways. Under the new legislation, drivers of roadable aircraft must follow the same traffic rules as other vehicles, including cars, trucks, bicycles and motorcycles. This will ensure that flying cars, despite their dual capabilities, are integrated safely into existing traffic systems without causing disruptions or hazards. Minnesota is the second American state to pass such legislation. New Hampshire was the first to pass a law for state registration of roadable aircraft back in 2020. It was aptly named the ‘<keyword id="21773689" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jetson-Bill" source="Orion">Jetson Bill</keyword>’, after the iconic cartoon series. <keyword id="21773687" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Samson-Sky" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Samson Sky" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Samson Sky">Samson Sky</keyword>, the company behind the <keyword id="807717" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Switchblade" source="Orion">Switchblade</keyword> flying sports car, has been advocating for states to pass laws permitting flying cars to legally operate on roads, enabling them to reach airports for takeoff. This would be a crucial step for the practical use of flying cars, bridging the gap between traditional road travel and air travel. Looking ahead, two US companies, Samson Sky and Alef, along with two European companies, Pal-V and Klein, are set to begin production of flying cars by 2025. These companies are at the forefront of what could become a revolutionary shift in how we think about personal transportation. The inclusion of flying cars in Minnesota’s legislative framework reflects a broader trend of innovation in transportation. As technology advances, the integration of roadable aircraft could lead to reduced traffic congestion, shorter travel times, and new opportunities for urban planning and development. But on the flip side, the adoption of flying cars also raises important questions about infrastructure, air traffic management and environmental impact. Nevertheless, Minnesota’s bold step may inspire other states and countries to consider similar legislation, ultimately paving the way for a future where flying cars are a common sight, seamlessly blending the convenience of road travel with the speed of flight.

After rain caused the first T20I between <keyword id="3658" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="india" source="Orion">India</keyword> and <keyword id="22501" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="new-zealand" source="Orion">New Zealand</keyword> at Sky Stadium to be washed out, it may again play a spoilsport when the two teams will be playing in the second match at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Sunday. Though New Zealand skipper <keyword id="269650" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="kane-williamson" source="Orion">Kane Williamson</keyword> was hopeful of sunshine coming in Sunday's sell-out match at his hometown, that may not be the case. With rain predicted for all day and precipitation levels between 40-97 per cent, there is a possibility of rain again halting India and New Zealand's quest for rebuilding their T20I sides. One would be hoping that <keyword id="3142448" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rishabh-pant" source="Orion">Rishabh Pant</keyword> gets a decent run as an opener against New Zealand. Pant, who burst on the scene with blistering performances in IPL 2016 just after catching everyone's eye with his exploits in U19 World Cup earlier that year in Bangladesh, was largely in and out of initial playing eleven from Asia Cup till the Men's T20 World Cup as India preferred finishing touches of Dinesh Karthik. But now with Karthik not in the squad for this series, one could see Pant opening the batting as India search for batters who can given them a flying start in power-play. But with <keyword id="2064892" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ishan-kishan" source="Orion">Ishan Kishan</keyword> and <keyword id="6362888" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="shubman-gill" source="Orion">Shubman Gill</keyword>, uncapped in the T20I format, as the obvious looking opening options, it should be interesting to see the role clarity which India will give to left-handed Pant, who hasn't cracked the T20I code yet, as compared to Tests and ODIs. Hardik Pandya will be itching to show his leadership skills as the clamour grows for him to be made India's T20I captain till 2024 T20 World Cup, in a bid to change the side's fortunes in the format. His New Zealand counterpart, <keyword id="58375" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="williamson" source="Orion">Williamson</keyword>, will be keen to improve his strike-rate and usefulness in the shortest format of the game. Traditionally, Bay Oval has been a high-scoring ground for T20Is. All of this can happen in front of a sold-out crowd provided the rain stays away for cricket to happen. Squads India: Hardik Pandya (captain), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan, Deepak Hooda, <keyword id="496245" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="suryakumar-yadav" source="Orion">Suryakumar Yadav</keyword>, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (vice-captain and wicket-keeper), Sanju Samson, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Umran Malik. New Zealand: Kane Williamson (captain), Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Jimmy Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Michael Bracewell, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Lockie Ferguson and Blair Tickner.
