No because the older I get the more I realize how absolutely fucking stupid and dangerous humans are. There is no chance in hell I would ever get a flying car. |

Not a chance With the way people drive on the ground I couldn’t even imagine a congested air space with cars. It just sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Keep the planes in the sky and the cars on the ground. Thanks… |

Absolutely! I plan on being one of those absolutely fucking stupid and dangerous people that Alfie is talking about. I advise everyone not to be on the Skyway at the same time as I am. I will be doing donuts, loop-de-loops, and pretending that I'm Snoopy fighting the Red Baron. |

I think they call that an airplane, as becoming a pilot and owning your own personal sized plane are now easily attainable. I haven’t gotten my plane license - so I guess the answer is no lol. |

I don't think that humanity will ever achieve flying cars (in our life time), there are like drones and drone taxies, but one thing is a prototype and another thing is consumer good. We can send rocket to Mars, but it will never become commercial. Also, what people disregard is the following, when driving, you only need to pay attention two dimension per se, because it is only length and width, you need to understand the distance between you and the car in front or back and also pay attention to the sides, that is pretty much it (paraphrasing), but if you have driving car, it adds completely new dimension, height. Is human brain capable of such thing, yes, are we fast enough to react? No. Also, flying cars? Just remember 9/11 and now think of a swarm of tiny planes... |

Have you ever driven a car on the streets nowadays. Has much as I would love the experience, just imagine someone forgetting to get gas. How many other people would be taken out. |

| Tommy-Gun don't be ridiculous. We obviously would not be using gas to power our flying cars, lmao. Our quantum defibrillators would render fossil fuels redundant. Now, if your paralytic ultra-converter broke down, then you'd have a problem, but I imagine we would've made enough progress on metabolic hydrotwisters by that time that there would be like a one in ten million chance of that happening. | |

A flying car would be kinda a personal thing between a drone and an helicopter? Handy maybe, but I don't see such "traffic" to exist as too messy to have many of them flying, and also very expensive and energy demanding to move. Who knows, I might even think about buying it in the case, not sure where I could actually use it, with all the things also said about others before me. The "flying car" itself wouldn't even be too expensive actually, now that drones are getting more and more common, technologically very doable, but at same not gonna happen. |
