He first came out on TED talks 3yrs ago. Since then, as this video explains, he was given some funding to create a working set of prototypes. Those are now mostly complete.

If you follow the link in the video, he's almost at his goal of $1m. Only a few hundred thousand left to go.

Everything has flaws. But that doesn't mean you just ignore it and toss it out. You take a good idea and continue to make it better until it can be implemented. This is a good idea with more than enough real benefits to be pursued.
