With the potential drivers I see out there, this is hard to fathom for me, when concerning a society full of flying cars. The actual idea of flying cars is not that far-fetched, as we already have models that do just that, albeit they are not very impressive. I mean, cars with big wheels that look like airplanes with retractable wings, is hardly what I'd call a flying car.
Plus, we must raise money for each city that has these levitating contraptions for this to be possible, so we'll definitely need "flying cops" so they can fly us some tickets for our traffic violations, right? I'm still thinking of all the idiot drivers I see on the road today, as it would be horrific to see them in the air; ha-ha! My gawd! On second thought, this is not a good idea... If you have collisions in the air, you do realize that they will have to land somewhere, right? Well, I guess the house insurance rates will be one of the first things to go up after a few crash-landings occur from airborne lunatic drivers, I suppose.
Will your car insurance be different, as well? I mean, do you have to take out a separate aerial insurance policy or do your rates simply double if you go from ground to air, etc.?
What about drunk drivers? Instead of a DUI will it be
called an FUI (flying under the influence)? What about the EPA? Will the Environmental Protection Agency declare a national emergency if people start flying into birds, etc. Better yet, will the animal activist groups try to ban our flying cars from society? Enough of this nonsense... Anyway, I attached an image
of the flying DeLorean from the movie "Back to the Future: Part 2."

Update: Well, at the time of this update it is now almost (11-4-21) the year 2022 and there is still no signs of these type of soaring vehicles entering mass production any time soon. In fact, I'm yet to see a single one in my area. To top it off, the price of used ground-based cars, trucks, SUVs, etc., have all went way up this year due to economic issues. I don't even want to think about the price of new vehicles right now. As for aerial transportation, all I see is the usual planes and helicopters along with the occasional UFOs piloted via space aliens; ha! ---End of Update

LOL! This post was funny to read. At first I was thinking how this would be so freaking cool! I have thought about it before for several years actually but I didn't ponder over the stuff you mentioned here. OMG! Flying cops? Reckless drivers flying and crashing into houses? Idiotic drivers in the air? Holy crap!!! Maybe I can not imagine this after all, especially with this screwed up society that is so full of senseless acts of flying shitttt.. Hehehe
ReplyDeleteYeah, which is why I asked this relatively simple question to begin with: "Can you imagine a society full of flying cars?" Ha-ha!
