SUNNYVALE, Ca. – An interesting photo of Nissan Motor Co. President Carlos Ghosn testing a quadcopter drone at the Nissan Research Center in Silicon Valley. Dare we call it the Ghosn (pronounced Gohn) drone?

When asked by MITechNews.Com Editor Mike Brennan if the photo hinted that Nissan is working on flying cars, Nissan spokesman Rachel Konrad said, tongue firmly planted in cheek, “I could answer that, but then I’d have to kill you.”

As a disclaimer, Brennan and Konrad both worked at the Detroit Free Press covering the auto industry in the late 1990s.
