What is your opinion on flying cars? They've been in science fiction etc. not sure when they'll make it to the market and become mainstream (if ever?)

I bet if one of the auto manufacturers like GM or Toyota started mass producing something similar to that, that wasn't ugly as hell and didn't cost that much (say around $30k price tag) they'd get a large portion of the market then all the other manufacturers would start to follow suit

The fact that you think it even has a chance of becoming mainstream is beyond ridiculous.

Imagine if all the retards that can't even drive a car, are now flying above your head.
Everything is moving toward safety, the general public flying around is the total opposite of that.

The problem is is that "flying cars" are still just essentially airplanes that are all folded up....they need running starts to take off and land. A more practical flying car would be something capable of VTOL. Regardless, as the above said, we don't need retards flying these things. In all honesty if they made smaller airplanes that were cheaper, more user-friendly, and expanded the infrastructure for it, alot of people would probably opt to use their airplanes to make longer trips in excess of 100 miles. Oh btw, private pilot's license holder here.

ahhh so you're asking if you think flying cars become mainstream, with people who are licensed pilots.

still no, that's not enough people for car manufacturers to try to butt their way into the aviation market.
