I can't be the only one who thinks flying cars are a bad idea? More traffic in the air means more chances of collisions, which are much more likely to be fatal even for a small midair "fender bender". It also means far more energy usage to get from A to B than pretty much any other mode of transportation, at a time when we should be trying to reduce energy usage on this planet. The view will be ruined, with things flying across the sky day and night. At least with drones they're small enough not to be an eyesore. You won't be able to fly near an airport which most cities with traffic problems have, and they're going to be a lot harder to sell second hand, since no one wants a flying car that might fall out of the sky because the previous owner didn't service it enough. Furthermore, the quiet, scenic places outside our cities will suddenly be at the whim of every asshat rich enough to own a flyer, buzzing over lakes and forests and disturbing the peace. But hey at least Jeff Bezos won't have to wait in traffic.
