SAN JOSE, Calif. — When the lights lowered and thumping bass music filled a Silicon Valley event space this October, Jim Dukhovny was in his element. He is a former events promoter and musician dubbed “DjWizard” who is accustomed to hyping up rooms filled with revelers.
But he was not there to play techno, Dukhovny was there to sell the world on a product that so far is relegated to fantasy novels: flying cars.
“Almost all science fiction worlds have one thing in common. Almost every vision of the future came up with exactly the same thing – a flying car,” Dukhovny told a crowd of supporters and media. “Back to Future, Jetsons, Bladerunner, science-fiction is no longer fiction. The future is now.”
