Flying car growing pains

2017-05-24 00:37:37.701127+02 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

Occasionally I hang out with transportation geeks, and a topic that comes up regularly is "what about flying cars?" I mean, yeah, it's a bit fanciful, but in the 50 year timespan it's something people think meaningfully about.

The truth is: Flying cars are already here. The future just isn't evenly distributed. And when you try to bring them into a neighborhood, people get pissed off.
