I ditto the sentiment. But we don't want literal flying cars. Well, self driven flying cars. Humans have enough problems when they're driving on the ground on ground made for driving.
- mettamage 3y agoI wonder if self flying cars are easier to make since every object in the air is an obstacle. This is less the true for ground transport since sometimes it may seem like an obstacle but it isn't (e.g. just a marking on the road).
- nvader 3y agoClouds are visible, but may not be an obstacle. Wind is invisible, but may be an obstacle.

- kleer001 3y agotrue. However the failure cases at those heights and velocities are far worse. There's several orders of magnitude difference between an airplane license and driving license.
