I imagine that it's supposed to be flown and is only temporarily used on the ground. Same way airplanes don't have a higher ground speed

    K well there are a few key differences between cars and airplanes... If planes could drive around on the road, nobody would buy a car. That's kinda the whole goddamn point, that's why people want a car that can fly.

    I take issue with a "flying car" that's not a fucking car. What the hell is the point? If you're spending $300k, why wouldn't you actually become a pilot instead of buying some half-baked car that isn't actually usable as a car?
