That's so funny. Regular people can't hahndle regular cars. Self-driving cars barely handle 2 dimensional space within very specific confines and rules, in good weather. Existing airspace is congested to the point of being problematic in most metro areas around the world.
"Flying cars" might be replacing some private heliopters, maybe. But they aren't going mainstream any time soon.
- BobaFloutist 11mo agoI also don't really understand what's supposed to be the line between flying car and helicopter. Does the flying car need to also be street legal on the ground? Does it just not have to look too much like a helicopter?
- qgin 11mo agoI think it’s anything in the category of “way more common than a helicopter to the point where normal people use them”.
- bluGill 11mo agoIt needs to get through dense downtowns where there isn't much space between buildings, and wires and skyways to dodge as well. A skilled pilot could do it - but they wouldn't try because while space physically exists there isn't enough margin for error.
