You know everyone is going to be blinded by this; when the first model for public consumption is actually produced, they'll be--pardon the expression--flying off the lots. But stop to think about what a flying car actually means...
We're not a nation of excellent drivers. If you put someone in a car 25 or 30 feet in the air, every traffic regulation in every state automatically becomes irrelevant. Who's going to keep these morons in a "lane?" And when they collide, which you have to regard as inevitable, death will literally come raining down on pedestrians in the street below. That is to say, when they collide with each other, as opposed to the second or third floor of an apartment house or office building.
If there was any common sense at work here, the concept of a flying car would be scrapped, and none ever produced. Fortunately in my own case, I live in New York City, where I can take the subway and avoid the airborne chaos to come.
