mention of 9/11Smaller 9/11s would be happening every day if flying cars were common

Also helicopters already exist and they're basically flying cars

    What I'm envisioning isn't piloted by the passengers. Set your destination and it navigates following FAA rules and routes over short distances.

    It's pretty trivial to detect humans and scan faces. Until things improve r these are going to be single passenger only so not much opportunity for a large payload.

    With self driving cars, it's only a matter of time before someone makes a self driving car into a delivery system for a bomb.
