I realized driving home today that it would be so cool to be able to push a big red button and see my car sprout wings and cold fusion powered rockets to propel me home ...
Then I realized everyone else would want the same thing as me and the sheer logistics of flying cars sobers you up real quick.
It is a chore to manage traffic on the ground, just imagine all the cars on the road flying.
How do you police the air?
Not to mention that gravity makes things fall ... fast.
The flying car has been featured in movies like Bladerunner and the Fifth Element, and I read years ago that the flying car had been tested and works.
Perhaps I shouldn't be so cynical, but I think that the movies is the only place we will be seeing mass use of flying cars until technology has really advanced, road rage doesn't convert into air road rage, and the internal combustion engine finally goes the way of the dinosaur on a large scale, no pun intended.
That's all this for rant.
