Imagine how bad your average driver is on a single plane of movement. Like, they're already going forward and can move in a single other dimension and look at the chaos we already have.

Now let's go on and add the vertical axis and the exponential difference that makes in just how much a single human can utterly fuck with one or more others.

Now let's add road rage into the mix and give people the ability to straight up dive bomb anybody they get mad at.

I don't ever want flying cars in the hands of the masses. Ever.

    Flying cars have existed for a while. You need a pilots license. And well they're not practical one bit. It's why they make the drone things. And those are a mess. Power lines or a strong gust of wind and good luck.

    flying cars are the perfect use case for tiny dirigibles: how fast have you ever seen a blimp move?

    this could never happen twice.

    classic lol. Although now that I think about, I don't remember the last time I've even seen a blimp. I think anything in the air is just asking for trouble. Even the automated stuff. Too many security vulnerabilities and not enough people doing cybersecurity. Even going back to college, I don't want to deal with it more than a hobby.
