Just wanted to point out we had flying cars way before tesla
are you sure they didn’t just DoWNLoAd it?
Not yet. Clearly they just finished uploading it.
RONALD WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR!
her: my parents aren’t home
me:
We have a perfectly good flying car at home
Please do not the car
Honestly this is why we won’t have flying cars, your car breaking down on the street is one thing. Your car breaking down flying over a neighborhood is a totally different thing.

Imagine how bad your average driver is on a single plane of movement. Like, they’re already going forward and can move in a single other dimension and look at the chaos we already have.
Now let’s go on and add the vertical axis and the exponential difference that makes in just how much a single human can utterly fuck with one or more others.
Now let’s add road rage into the mix and give people the ability to straight up dive bomb anybody they get mad at.
I don’t ever want flying cars in the hands of the masses. Ever.
Flying cars have existed for a while. You need a pilots license. And well they’re not practical one bit. It’s why they make the drone things. And those are a mess. Power lines or a strong gust of wind and good luck.
flying cars are the perfect use case for tiny dirigibles: how fast have you ever seen a blimp move?
this could never happen twice.classic lol. Although now that I think about, I don’t remember the last time I’ve even seen a blimp. I think anything in the air is just asking for trouble. Even the automated stuff. Too many security vulnerabilities and not enough people doing cybersecurity. Even going back to college, I don’t want to deal with it more than a hobby.
i have a friend who does hot air balloon festivals and we are their cooks when we go with. outside of those, yeah it’s been a while
I didn’t know those we’re a thing. Sounds pretty cool.
Ya can’t park that there mate

This happens in Beloit, WI, on somewhat of a regular occurrence…
Why dont people in Wisconsin grow a pair and claim the Upper Peninsula from Michigan as their manifest destiny demands?
Spain mastered this technology already in 1973:
I knew you would be here for us in this time of great need.
The OG “you cant park here” moment.
suddenly we are going to have a lot more weird parking jobs… but much better explanations for them
We’d have so many miniature 9/11s if the Roadster makes it to market as-is it’ll make every tenth building look like a 1950’s-themed diner.
