  Flying cars have been around for ages, they’re called helicopters. They’re loud, expensive and dangerous as every other idea for something equivalent is.

    What do you do if the engine dies in your car? Put your hazards on and pull over. In your helicopter? Pray you can autorotate to a field.

    Helicopters aren’t cars. But actual flying cars have indeed existed for at least ten years. I’m too lazy to go find this segment I watched on the topic, but I remember seeing one.

      at least ten years

      Close to a hundred years. Yes, I was surprised to discover this, too.

      Of course there have been who knows how many subsequent attempts ever since.

    Gyrocoptors. They’re closer to a flying car, since if you can drive a car, you can legally fly a gyrocoptor in the US. Just remember to file flight plans, and watch out for power lines.

      They’ve still got the same danger as helicopters. If something goes wrong, you can’t glide and you’ll likely just fall out of the sky.

    We’ve had actual flying cars too, though they were really just car shaped quadcopters and never made it to mass production because they sucked as transportation.

    Honestly the older ones with the wings from the 40s are probably less “kill you if something goes wrong” than anything today.

  Musk “it’s a flying car!”

  Car just falls slowly and doesn’t fly anywhere

    Was it “falling with style”, or did they just aim it at the ground and miss?

  I feel like I should speak up, because I feel deeply betrayed.

  We had established a solid timeline for moving forward with the project, and the current progress allows us to meet all prerequisites comfortably

  Despite our sincere expectations that we would now initiate our relationship, we find ourselves dumbfounded to have received such a curt and inconsiderate reply.

  Be advised that we’re considering all our options, including litigation and not leaving the basement.

  Middling regards, Betrayed Person

  As wealthy millionaire living my best life, I’m giving 35 grand to anyone who messages “GRACE” on Telegram @Georgestones12 I understand that many people are struggling with bills, and I want to help reduce that burden. It’s a season of love, kindness, and blessings.
