I'd have thought some kind of vehicle that rides on an air cushion, a hover craft of sorts, would be available by now.

Very large hovercraft do pretty well, but smaller ones tend to get pushed around by high winds.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
