Do you think there will ever be flying cars?

I am not sure if there will be because it takes a lot of energy to get off the ground and getting off the ground would make the probability of crashing higher (depending on how high you fly)

There are already flying cars, they have had flying cars since the 50’s...

Just not available to the public...

So all we need now are flying traffic jams and we’ll be set.

There is to much airspace for jams... but i’m also assuming that as a joke...

My main cause of worry if... what if you run out of gas?

Maybe switch it over to solar power?

If we do have to go to solar power, we’d need some really efficient flying cars if we wanted to keep them up like that, even without flight we’d still need more efficient vehicles if they are to run on solar power.

And yes, it was a joke, but it might happen eventually, who knows?

There is work on solar cells that can turn 90% of sunlight into energy.

And they have had 2 ton airplanes run on human power.

So... yeah, they can get it working...

As for the traffic jam thing, it could happen in thickly crowded cities, because the altitude for the vehicles may be low and to many vehicles in one small area = crashes and jams
