People can’t even handle a zip merge, da fuck we need flying cars for, lmao, another technobro invention that only thinks about the individual and not the wider effect on society
even in the future nothing works
And thus the reason we don’t have flying cars. That was two. Imagine the flaming hell that would be raining down if we had commute traffic numbers in the sky.
Just in case anyone was wondering why we don’t do that.
You need a fully automated and certified air traffic control first. That’s only been discussed for a free decades now so any time now it’ll arrive. Nah, nobody wants to put in any funding or take on the liability.
Now imagine hundreds of them populating the skies over a densely populated city, just to carry a few hundred rich people around.
When you say it like that, it sounds better in some ways and worse in others.
You take the rough with the smooth
helicopters.
Yes, and how many helicopters fly regular passengers over your city?
There’s a reason these are speciality vehicles for speciality operations, and not a generic form of transport used all the time.
exactly. there are hundreds of them populating the sky, lugging a few hundred rich people (or their representatives) around.
Is that even a car? It just looks like a massive drone.
Cars travel on the ground. These are indeed massive drones with the capacity to lift humans. The media won’t give up “The Jetsons” flying car term (regardless of how impractical and unsafe the concept of layman operating in 3D space is). These are just electric, multi-rotor aircraft. My rant is over.
We need this on every military parade.
