Just in case anyone was wondering why we don’t do that.
Now imagine hundreds of them populating the skies over a densely populated city, just to carry a few hundred rich people around.
When you say it like that, it sounds better in some ways and worse in others.
You take the rough with the smooth

Yes, and how many helicopters fly regular passengers over your city?
There’s a reason these are speciality vehicles for speciality operations, and not a generic form of transport used all the time.

Not the air show. Just a rehearsal. One vehicle went up into flames. No deaths, one seriously injured.
Saved you a click.
Eh, not exactly. I’m curious as to what sort of a contraption it is.
Here. Saved the third guy a click.
People can’t even handle a zip merge, da fuck we need flying cars for, lmao, another technobro invention that only thinks about the individual and not the wider effect on society
The sky is huge. In theory you should be able to avoid most crashes just by separation rules which can be automated. I didn’t make this up, it’s literally a thing that exists called Big Sky Theory.
The cars are autonomous, we need them because people can’t even manage a zip merge.
Know what can be automated a lot easier than cars or planes, and can carry orders of magnitude more people with much less fuel usage? Fucking trains.
Yeah, a quadcopter train sounds like the obvious next step.
So the flying vehicles that apparently crashed into each other of their own accord are safer than cars? Really?
I’m not sure if you’re aware, but regular cars crash into each other as well.
Under the guidance of an “Ai” in a three-dimensional environment yeah I don’t think so. I can always get out of my 2D car, I’m not sure about you.
Damn, traffic was that bad huh?
Not flying cars. Didn’t even have wheels. Just hexacopters
Wait? So they are called “flying cars” but if none of a cars functionality?
The marketing does all the heavy lifting
We need this on every military parade.
The “car” in question:
That’s a better cyber truck than the cyber truck
That looks fucking awesome
