Flying Cars
I know many, many people want flying cars to be a real thing. But, what is always going to prevent us from having true flying cars is, look at how people normally are with the cars on the ground. Drunk driving is tenfold going to be worse with flying cars, people are going to totally fly their vehicles into buildings, for sure. I think the closest we’re going to get to flying cars, is the hover cars we see in Back to the Future II that are more ground level, but hover. Even then, I don’t know if we’re ever going to be ready for them.
True AI
What I mean with True AI is an AI that can actually be a little more sentient and living than what we got now. When AI first rolled out, it really put a damper on everyone in so many ways that I don’t think we’re ever going to see it. There’s just too much at stake to trust an AI with the capability to think on its own and do things on its own. We’re just going to be stuck with Semi-AI that only talk back to you in text form and maybe help you code. And that alone already has ruffled the feathers of millions who are hating AI which is another thing to consider.
Flying cars are not a practical technology at the moment because we don’t have a way of making them fly. Unless you basically want to just redefine the helicopter as a car. Once we’ve solved the flying problem I think we’ll probably just make themselves driving.
Having helicopters or planes flying over your house at all times would be terrible noise pollution. As if the dipshits “tuning” their rusted out junkers or Harley bikers with erectile disfunction driving up and down the road where not bad enough already.
This.
Flying cars exist , but are just large drones. They are small, inconvenient, noisy, and energy hungry.
Drunk drivers won’t be an issue, because they will self-drive.
