Imagine one of these stuck in traffic and taking off only to realize half way that there's nowhere to land and it's out of battery 🤣

"Allow me to see if I correctly ascertain the situation.

We will henceforth allow jackhole riders who don't understand the correct end of a breechloader to not use their perfectly capable, intelligent equines and replace them with smelly, combustion, 4-wheeled contraptions?"

In an era where air traffic controllers are being fired so billionaires can line their pockets. On the bright side, we can all look forward to our insurance rates skyrocketing…🫠

Wait til teens drive them.

If they get required training and the licenses are strict enough, I'm fine with that. Teens fly airplanes.

Looks like a scam to me.

Relax, it's just a come-on seeking ketamine addled venture capitalists with access to DOD funding systems.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to getting hit by a car from my second-floor bedroom window.

Seems like the best ep of Top Gear…worst possible ep of actual Real Life. But ‘missile car’ sounds like something that should come out of 2025.

Just what I need, a flying Nissan Juke tailgating me all pissed off because I’m only going 5-10 miles over the speed limit.

I remember taking engineering classes in undergrad, and the basic problem is not the car. You can do it! It's called a drone or a helicopter.

The problem is PEOPLE!! Average Joe and Jane don't have pilots' licenses for a reason.

mikemenn.bsky.social•4 days ago

Average Joe's DO have pilots' licenses.
However, not everyone gets one because of the cost, training, and desire.

Sounds like a giant swarm of bees.

Flying Tesla cars.
What could go wrong?

mikemenn.bsky.social•4 days ago

With proper technology it might be a lot less going wrong.

This has always been my thoughts on the flying car idea. No thanks.

ccballou.bsky.social•3 days ago

LOL!! Flying cars is just about the stupidest thing I have ever heard of, yes I know it’s from the Jetsons, but there’s no way flying cars could survive in LA. It would be nothing but crashes and gridlock.

labgnome.bsky.social•4 days ago

Isn't the problem with "flying cars" not that they're technically or economically unfeasible, but that they're arcraft, and then everyone would need a pilots license for them? If I'm remembering the last few times correctly.

buckbbagawk.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes. Of course. You anticipate problems?

savvyspark.bsky.social•3 days ago

How about we take the money being thrown down the drain on this bs and put it towards decent mass transit?

butnotthatjckss.bsky.social•4 days ago

They would likely be self-flying not too long after introduction, not that it's necessarily better.

America will do literally everything before healthcare for all.
