I heard what you mean about the noise, that thing's way too loud for a car. Of course, it is the first of its kind, or so I thought. I'm sure they'll come up with quieter, and more car-like models in the future.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_...pment_examples.

Or do you want something more like this?

Oh, man, you don't want to go there.

I want you to imagine today's traffic, with all the idiots and morons all doing their idiot things behind the wheel of a car. Speeding, running red lights, cutting off other drivers where the lane merges, driving while intoxicated, causing accidents, that sort of thing.

Now imagine these idiots in a flying car, while remembering that plane crashes are often fatal.

I find it bad enough just sharing the road with these idiots. Somehow the idea of all those idiots given the ability to fly doesn't inspire me with a great deal of confidence.

Don't worry, Spacely Sprockets has invented all kinds of devices to prevent in-air collisions.

Don't worry, by that time all traffic will be completely computer-controlled. The computers will decide everything. The computers will keep us safe. The computers will decide when we merge, how fast we go, and how much space we need between vehicles.

Shawnee123 · 03-11-2008, 09:47 AM

Yeah, like I said.
