The federal regulations to govern this would be a nightmare.

That shite ain’t happening.

As a society, we’re rapidly losing the ability to even know when to not drive with our lights on bright. Now there’s going to be flying cars? I don’t see this ending well.

I see this going well. Maybe the idiot I saw the the other day driving with the iPad in her face will pick one up.

I read an article in TIME in 1997 that said we’d have them in the next 5 years. Too much potential for people interfering with airspace, etc.

It won’t happen until driving is fully automated. I don’t see how it’s possible.

Or at least chop some limbs off with no safety cage around the propellers at knee height.

More than half of the first adopters are going to die after they fly these things right into the dirt.

Paramotoring seems way cheaper and safer than this.

MFer can barely drive cars around here much less maneuver a goddamn adult sized drone.

Think there’s allot of car deaths? Imagine when this takes off. Pun intended.

The flying car, the next big thing. And probably always will be.
