the future isn’t as far as the once
thought no your DeLorean can’t go back
in time yet but it soon might be able to
fly gracefully through the skies welcome
to watchmojo.com ting down the top-5
most interesting facts about everyone’s
favorite metaphor for a technological
utopia flying cars number 5 there are
many flying car prototypes for starters
a European company called aeromobil
built an operational flying car if your
definition of operational includes
malfunctioning crashing and nearly
killing the company’s owner cross blade
aerospace has an interesting concept a
vehicle that goes from car to quadcopter
to airplane their sky Cruiser is still
only a concept but they’ve employed
their so-called switchblade
transformation mechanism in a drone that
you’ll soon be able to purchase alfie is
working on this thing Terrafugia has a
working sky car that’s supposedly
street-legal and has foldable wings a
flying transformer car you can drive
calm down there friend you can have one
too just fork over the $280,000 that it
cost and the keys are all yours what you
don’t have a quarter million dollars to
throw it a flying car I’ll move along
pal because convenience isn’t cheap
can’t make the scene if you don’t have
the Green Bay staff there’s a somewhat
lower tech option named the veil on peg
ass which is basically an all-terrain
buggy equipped with a giant fan and a
parachute not quite what you had in mind
my you are hard to please
number four flying cars are hard to
drive in bad weather
we’re down here’s a scenario you’re
driving down a long winding road or
maybe the uber guy is driving you or
maybe you upgraded from the nuber X to
an uber select but that seems
unnecessary you know what I love about
uber you’re not to tip taxis man over
changing the world
whatever just focus for a second
suddenly a strong wind picks up and
starts blowing your car to and fro
fortunately you’re safely strapped to
the ground by a ton of metal car parts
and you keep on driving safely now
imagine you’re driving around in the sky
your uber sky chauffeur is making polite
but unwelcome
conversation hey what a flying uberx be
called an uberx wait never mind
suddenly a strong wind blows you into
the side of a mountain and you an uber
red leader are incinerated in a violent
but totally predictable explosion looks
like you should have taken a groundcar
but it’s too late for that now you’re
just another sad charred air traffic
safety statistic that could be the end
of a beautiful frame
point being actual pilots are trained to
fly in bad weather while would-be uber
pilots are only trained to drive and
maybe to bullseye womp rats but it’s not
impossible I used to bullseye womp rats
in my t16 back home their teen years
number three they would need a lot of
new infrastructure hey Doc you better
back up we don’t have enough run to get
up to 88 hopping in your future car and
jetting around the world might sounds
simple enough but the reality is that
our current infrastructure would have
trouble supporting the appearance of
such machines Airways would probably
have to be established in order to
properly direct traffic to keep cars
from crashing into each other and
exploding air traffic would require air
traffic cops to keep a constant vigil in
Thailand everybody even if these rogue
Disgaea vehicles have vertical takeoff
and landing the noise of a city full of
helicopters would be deafening and the
birds why won’t somebody think of the
birds but hey if it’s a good idea we’ll
adjust eventually right I mean pave
roads it didn’t just roll themselves out
overnight once someone invented the
automobile did that no they didn’t
number two they could make traffic jams
a thing of the past
fact traffic jams are the worst if cars
could fly anywhere they want and take
off and land virtually anywhere then
that would eliminate virtually all
bottlenecks so hey less road rage less
traffic also means less air pollution
unless air pollution means we can
finally breathe some of that sweet sweet
oxygen that grandpa keeps talking about
yes if cars are flying everywhere
that means there’ll be no need to build
and maintain expensive highways finally
because of the rapid rise in
self-driving car technology and because
trusting people and flying contraptions
is historically a bad idea
flying cars could potentially be
completely automated so you could sit
back relax and try not to worry that a
computer is hurtling you through the air
at insane speeds
and that realistically number one
breaking down means falling out of the
sky turns out no matter how you spin it
falling out of the sky is a dangerous
endeavor you can have backup engines you
can have parachutes you can have all
kinds of safety features that ultimately
could fail when you’re in a boring old
ground car breaking down isn’t an
automatically fatal proposition if your
tires blow out or your engine overheats
you can pull over to the side of the
safe gravity respecting Road and call
for assistance when you’re a mile in the
sky and your fancy new automobile is
having some trouble you have about
thirty seconds to really figure out what
you did wrong in life the answer may be
all around you as you plummet
inextricably towards the unforgiving
earth propelled by the laws of gravity
in whose face you so boldly spat when
climbing into your flying car so what do
you think
our flying car is an attainable goal for
technological innovation or will they
forever remain a symbol of an
undeliverable ultimately disappointing
future for more vertical takeoff top
