Flying cars would require more than just technology, it would require people to be better drivers by a huge margin and I just don't see that happening. So unless public transport becomes the norm (most people not driving) I can't see us having flying cars in my lifetime.
@askaboutme I think the same thing. I think we would really have to change a lot for this to work. I can't see people being responsible enough to fly. Like most average people would just end up causing damages and destruction.
I can see them being a thing for public transportation. Have you ever watched West World? Or Westworld? I can't remember if it is one or two words at the moment. They have shuttles that fly people around, no driver. I can see something like that being a thing.
I am guessing sometime in 2050. I think we are still a goo 25+ years out from anything like this. Even then, it seems like lifestyles would have to change a lot for this to work.
I think flying cars for public transport and shipments could be a thing but not for a while. Maybe in like another 40 years we will have something like this. I will be too old to care at that point.
@weenie They are having trouble doing this for EVs. The way ion batteries function, tey are pretty much useless for transporting weight and function a fraction as well in cold temps. I can't see flying cars happening in my life at all.
They want everyone to drive unreliable EVs. I feel like this is going to make a push for less people driving in which case, I could see flying vehicles becoming a thing but I have a feeling only very rich people will be able to afford it.
