Flying cars is a fucking stupid idea.
-constant fear of some drunk driver flying 300kmph to your house -only useful for medium length journey
-has to be heavily controlled for safety, meaning you can only fly specific routes
-airspace of anything important is no fly zone, like airports, government buildings, ports, basically every city
-needs fossile fuel to fly, more than a normal ICE car
-needs designated landing area
-needs city planning to be centered around them
-unlimited potential for terrorists
-drivers would need specific license and training
Whoever is unironically shipping flying cars is a fucking moron and you can't prove me otherwise, no matter if it technically works or not.
Flying cars are the modern equivalent of flying horses
Even more simple than most of those: people are shit at driving in two dimensions and adding a third is just idiotic.
Flying car = helicopter. All you need to say.
I bet you that because flying cars are likely going to be a rich only thing that cities will quickly create new infrastructure to help flying cars become marketable.
