What would make a "flying car" worthwhile for under 20km flights?

• radicaldreamer 6y ago
  For regions where the geography makes the roads dangerous or extremely slow or border regions where road traffic delays due to customs or immigration checks are common.

  Basically a failing state. No public transit, bad roads, or safety issues between wealthy enclaves. Yet the market always has solutions up its sleeve! Short range flight!

  VTOL from a space the size of 6 car parking slots; never start a trip without energy reserves for an additional landing/takeoff/landing cycle; have higher reliability/safety than any other form of transport ever. And then be economically justifiable.

  Bad traffic in Jakarta or Mumbai or Sao Paolo or Mexico City or Moscow? And those places don't lack a few super wealthy that wouldn't mind zipping around in a cool new aircraft. Or maybe transit from one airport to another within a city.
