Why did it have to be an Altima?

    Honestly this is why we won’t have flying cars, your car breaking down on the street is one thing. Your car breaking down flying over a neighborhood is a totally different thing.

    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.

    Any car can be a flying car if you drive it wrong enough

    I want to say for 3 and VC too, though it's been like 20 years since I've typed that in. You can spawn a tank, spin the turret around, use the cheat, and hurl yourself across the broken bridge. You get a... 4? star wanted level, but you're in a freaking tank. Just don't stop so the cops can't open the door...

    You may find yourself 
    Behind the wheel of a large automobile 
    You may find yourself 
    In a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife 
    And you may ask yourself 
    Well, how did I get here?

    And you may ask yourself 
    How do I work this? 
    And you may ask yourself 
    Where is that large automobile? 
    And you may tell yourself 
    This is not my beautiful house 
    And you may tell yourself 
    This is not my beautiful wife

    Every car is a flying car if used properly.

    If you think running off the road killing a couple of people is bad, wait until some idiot runs out of gas hurtling through town at 100 KPH. The south African nazi takes out a building downtown. Damn... I've seen this movie before.

    We'd have so many miniature 9/11s if the Roadster makes it to market as-is it'll make every tenth building look like a 1950's-themed diner.
