Exactly! Flying cars sound neat in scifi, but in reality they are fucking loud and require 10x as much fuel or energy to transport the same people or goods. Just imagine the constant screaming noise overhead and if you think people drive like idiots now, just wait till they have to drive in 3 dimensions. No thanks!
