Occasionally I hang out with transportation geeks, and a topic that comes up regularly is
"what about flying cars?" I mean, yeah, it's a bit fanciful, but in the 50 year timespan it's
something people think meaningfully about.
The truth is: Flying cars are already here. The future just isn't evenly distributed. And
when you try to bring them into a neighborhood, people get pissed off.

Well, people get mad because the flying cars don't make that cool Jetsons car noise. The
manufacturer that nails that will corner the market.

Yep. That and the lack of downwash...
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
