Flying cars are the modern version of flying horses: Mythical beasts that will save us from the drudgery of travel over land
"Us"? The only people it'll save are the ultra rich who can afford the insurance, the flight training, the fuel, the vehicle itself and a place to land it.
โUsโ being a person who has been stuck in traffic/in a wagon train for hours/weeks
Ah yes, the billionaires that own private jets have already saved so many of us filthy ground dwellers from being stuck in traffic, by virtue of them owning the ability to fly.
