Watch: A real-life flying car takes to the skies
-
When will news media stop falling for this shit?
Oh, yes, when it stops generating clicks. I am part of the problem.
the safety of the actual car is good enough for consumers
This is a revealing statement.

I've seen plenty of working flying cars since the late 90's.
Don't bother me with this shit until they have a working idea on how to monitor and regulate the shit so we can all have flying cars and not just one dude's stupid prototype.

Calling this thing a "real life flying" car is generous. This thing just looks like a mock-up at best and it didn't appear to even have a driver/pilot during the demo.
This thing will be bad in the air and bad on the ground.

Unfortunately, we don't monitor and regulate things here in the US anymore

That statement is good enough for you

I've seen plenty too. They fly over sometimes. I believe they are called "helicopters".

I’ve already seen how ordinary people drive in two dimensions. Three dimensions is an impossible ask.

Unless the thing in question is an immigrant

Word to the media: don't bother us with this shit until they have a working idea on how to monitor and regulate the shit so we can all have flying cars and not just one dude's stupid prototype. The hard thing isn't making a car that can fly. That shit is relatively easy. The hard part is figuring out how air traffic would work if everyone was up there. It's already a PITA and there aren't a helluva lot of planes compared to cars.
If they're all automated and coordinating, NASA has put a lot of effort into researching how to coordinate a swarm of airborne agents with diverse goals.. I'd imagine that these prototypes have gotten further development and a reality-collision as drone systems have been deployed and evolving in the Ukrainian theatre. The tech for this might actually finally be ready.

Ha, it's total crap. I watched video news about it.

When I was a kid I used to think it would be cool to have flying cars. As an adult I think about all the jets and helicopters and drones that already fly over my home and how annoying they are. The amount of noise of a fleet of cars taking off out of the neighborhood would make in the morning would be absolutely unbearable.
-
Looking at the underside of this "car" shows there are no drive axles, wires or motors going to the wheels, making it just a weird-shaped helicopter with wheels for no reason.
-
This video looks very fake. Were there no witnesses in this demonstration?
-
As others have already mentioned, regulations. Air traffic is tightly-controlled, and for good reason. There aren't really any technical limitations to flying cars. Shit's just dangerous, especially by unqualified individuals and en masse.

The last thing we need is flying cars, even if they do get a proper pilot's license. You don't exactly get air brakes while in the air, and at least in the USA, recently Elmo Turnip decided to cut flight safety...
All the more reason for flying cars in the US:
-
No flight safety
-
So expensive only the rich can afford them

-

We do; but only gays, blacks, trans people, immigrants, and women.

If that's a "real car" then my left testicle is a genuine mild Italian meatball.

I hear ya. Up until the rich end up crashing into everyday poor neighborhoods...

And disabled people, and people with mental health needs.

now that's a spicy meatball

Naw, we don't regulate that. We would have to actually think about them first.

Only if I use the mint soap.

So now we have to look both ways AND up to make sure some moron doesnt drop a car on my head?
Fuck that noise...
