I’ve seen plenty of working flying cars since the late 90’s.
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.
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 sky roads somehow
Whenever someone talks about practical, real-life flying cars, regulation is the first thing I think about, too. How will they be sure that some dipshit isn’t texting while flying over a school?

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

We’ve basically done that with flight patterns for aircraft in busy areas right now, so it makes sense.
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…

Unfortunately, we don’t monitor and regulate things here in the US anymore
Unless the thing in question is an immigrant
We do; but only gays, blacks, trans people, immigrants, and women.
And disabled people, and people with mental health needs.
Naw, we don’t regulate that. We would have to actually think about them first.
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.
I’ve seen plenty too. They fly over sometimes. I believe they are called “helicopters”.
