No matter where you park your car — land, air, sea, space, underground — one of these will tow it and toss it into the nearest volcano. This is a good thing.

Wont need huge highways anymore either, just do freight by rail or ship instead of truck

Exactly. You make a helicopter big enough to carry a cargo ship or long enough to carry a freight train, BAM you've solved so many issues overnight.

The tim traveler did a video some time ago, abou a town in germany who's only access is by train, but because the train was being repaired, they just flew everyone on helicopter in and out.
