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

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

Please no flying cars. Please no. The jetsons made it look cool, but that was a cartoon made in the days before 9/11 and cell phones happened.
Now imagine some distracted driver, watching a tiktok while driving, and oops, they did another 9/11.
Now imagine that happens every week. Not because of terrorists, but because of idiots! WE HAVE A LOT OF IDIOTS IN THIS COUNTRY!!!!
......please no.

Cars crash into buildings all the time. Even if you took the largest consumer car and “drove” it as fast as possible into the side of a skyscraper, you wouldn’t be able to cause anything close to another 9/11.
That said, these are terrible for other reasons.

It’s a big ass drone with a car shape 3D printed over top of it

I always find it amusing when sci Fi games with flying cars have them still driving in imaginary floating highways, it's like they know they would regulate it into 2D autopilot sly roads somehow

Why would you assume these would be driven?
This looks like a Hollywood special effect reel from the 1950s. We are close to having fully autonomous vehicles already. Any practical application of this couldn't happen for at least another 20years. If we are still driving our own vehicles by then we are all pretty fucked already. -

In fact we have the largest strategic reserve of idiots in the world! Even our president is an idiot!

Pfft, whatever. Gasoline can't melt steal beams.

America can't have 4-wheeled road-legal flying cars. 4-wheeled road legal cars must have airbags, but aircraft are forbidden in aircraft.
