Science Fiction

No.

• energy requirements will always be higher vs surface transit

• mechanical complexity will increase mechanical failures. these mechanical failures are much more likely to lead to death or severe injury or extensive damage.

• you think self driving is bad now? It’s not. Planes can largely fly themselves, but that’s not the hard part. It’s the everything else, including maintaining safe patterns and separation. If everyone jumped to air travel in a city congestion just moves into the air, and you’ll have shit loads of accidents. Throw in improperly maintained air craft because that shit is expensive and you have a recipe for 9/11-level accidents on a daily basis.

Mass transit is the way to go.

They're called helicopters

I can't stand all the airplanes and helicopters that add noise pollution and co2 to the atmosphere and city scapes already. This will be yet another layer of fresh hell.

We'll barely be able to keep our earthbound cars running in the near future, let alone get them to fly!

I can't wait for cars to fall off the sky. They are already polluting and being dangerous on the ground, so to satisfy our car addiction, why not have them flying too!

I really hope flying cars never become a thing.

The concept of flying cars is an oxymoron. If they are flying they are not cars, but flying machines.
Cars drive on roads, boats sail on water, flying machines fly in the air.
To call it a flying car is like calling an amphibious plane a flying boat.

Flying cars have been around for About 70 years.

For the billionaires? Sure.

Is it finally becoming true???
