So you are telling me there still won't be flying cars in 10 years? smh

Flying cars are a terrible idea. We can barely keep them rolling on the ground. Do you really want several tones of metal floating above your head?

Yes. Every single day, almost every person I see driving is looking at their cell phones or holding them at their mouth talking. I mean those odds should be astronomical, but it's more common than not. Imagine adding another dimension of travel to that...

We have flying cars right now they're called helicopters. You just don't have one because they're expensive.

I like the cut of your ~~jib~~ blade, sailor.

Yeah, as the pinnacle of human achievement, we need to bring traffic congestion to the skies.

There will be exactly 4 flying cars in 10 years.

I'm the oracle, I have spoken!
