After decades of promises, flying cars are becoming real. Richard Schlesinger looks at vehicles that will soon be hitting the road (or rather, hovering a couple thousand feet above), which look more like helicopters than what "The Jetsons" promised.
There have been many headlines about the future of self-driving vehicles – cars that would never get drowsy, never get impaired by alcohol, and never be distracted by cell phones. Well, that future is closer than you think, as David Pogue finds out when he surveys a landscape that features the Tesla Autopilot, and Lyft's self-driving taxis. Pogue also talks with Jason Torchinsky, author of "Robot, Take the Wheel: The Road to Autonomous Cars and the Lost Art of Driving."
As Americans spend an estimated 97 hours a year stuck in traffic, costing tens of billions in lost productivity, answers to our traffic nightmares are being explored, both high-tech and old-school – from the Virgin Hyperloop One magnetic transportation system reaching speeds of hundreds of miles per hour, to gondola rides above congested city streets in Mexico. Lee Cowan reports.

The shrinking has caused ridges on the moon's surface called "thrust faults" -- where one section of crust is pushed up over a neighboring part. Scientists now believe those faults are to blame for the tremors.
