Uber's Vision for a VTOL Flying Car Ride Share Program

[JungianJugular]

Looks pretty serious, especially with NASA investigating possibilities and Airbus wanting to make flying taxi's a reality. (https://www.inverse.com/article/22602-airbus-vahana)

Well, it's a good thing Moller has laid the groundwork for them, at least they won't have to spend 40 years designing a flying car. :rolleyes

TC should have that all approved and certified by about 2105.

The definitive take on the flying car idea:

Seriously, look at the idiots you share the road with – now give these simpletons wings and three dimensions to maneuver in. That’s right, these are the same mouth breathing dolts who can’t manage a 4-way stop or understand the basic concept of “left lane fast, right lane slow.” These are the same morons who watch porn and surf the internet while behind the wheel of a 20-ton tractor trailer rig doing 70 down the highway. These are the same Viagra fueled hard-ons in their giant chrome crusted pickup trucks that so desperately crave the attention and envy of people they don’t know who are impressed by the manufacturer of car parts ( It’s Got a HEMI! Seriously, like I give a @#$! who made your transmission – get out of the way, Jackass) – Yeah, let’s give these people flying Hummers. Try to picture a 70 foot long levitating Winnebago with a blue haired driver from Whatthefuckinton, Oklahoma, in the driver’s seat squinting out the top of his bifocals through the steering wheel at a map flapping madly in the breeze with a midget poodle dog in his lap barking wildly at the birds and the clouds - how come science fiction never managed to see that coming? Just imagine a sky full of flying cars swooping through the air – and every single dumbass piloting with one knee as they chat on the phone and thumb away at their texting keyboards, screaming at their kids in the backseat while in the throes of Sky Rage.

Oh yes, yes, sign me up for that.

Nice link, geodoc! I believe it's inevitable with more parties investing in research and development. More automation with automobiles will eventually be a reality. We will see it in the ground transportation systems as well. It will be interesting too see how this all turns out in this lifetime.
