        And you can still only take off from a registered airport in most places, because silly laws. So you still have to drive to the airport. Oh also don’t forget they’re hilariously dangerous in a collision at basically any speed because they’re basically made out of paper compared to the rampaging 2 ton behemoths regularly speeding down our roads. So good luck getting to the airport safely!

        And getting back on topic, it’ll also need a license plate for the roads, and a transponder in most airspace, so you can still be tracked whether you’re on the ground or in the air. Flying cars are great at combining the worst of both worlds!

        Flying cars are both shitty planes with terrible aerodynamics, and shitty cars with terrible dimensions, interior space and handling.

      I’d settle for a holodeck or a brain device that lets you feel others experiences or makes VR completely real.

    That was the goal the entire time. Get rid of the free phonebooks then charge you for that free information.
