2025, still no flying cars!

Its 2025, are most drivers ready for a 3rd dimension to keep track of?

imagine most cars today flying autonomously

now picture unbearable noise, cost, visual pollution, and a massive increase in emissions (or electric grid pressure)

thankfully this never caught on

Man, I really misread the name of the owner of that aerial sedan.

Flying cars are a nice idea until you realize that the logistics and aerodynamics don't math out well.

Initially I thought it said "hitler's flying sedan"

You ever heard the noise a small personal drone makes? Multiply that a few times over flying over your house routinely. That surely wouldn't get annoying.

Thank God.

People can't handle driving in 2 dimensions, imagine if 3rd one was added.

The Federal Aviation Administration has certified for testing a vehicle that a California startup describes as a flying car — the first fully electric vehicle that can both fly and travel on roads to receive US government approval.

The company expects to sell the vehicle for $300,000 each with the first delivery by projected for the end of 2025.

Subaru goes out of its way however to stress that this aircraft is strictly a concept for now, but does add that engineers from its aerospace and automotive divisions are collaborating on developing a working prototype, even showing footage at the show of a blue, unmanned test vehicle flying at low altitude.

The Subaru even looks kind of like this 1950's mockup.

Do you mean private jets instead of a long road trip? Taking your private helicopter to go from one part of a city to another?

The future did arrive. Pay up.

I like how the guy has to awkwardly peek over the side to see below. They just designed it like a non-vtol car.

The Sisko is getting angrier by the day!

Technically they got approved by the FAA for the first time like a year ago. There have been tons of startups but they always go bankrupt.

Pretty sure a recent one has been on the news alongside Fox New's regular Drone-phobia segment, wouldn't be surprised if they get shot down.

Don't give Musk any ideas.

People can barely keep their cars in good shape. Imagine that shit falling on you.

could you imagine cars falling from the sky because the driver is playing on their phone or ran out of gas? no thanks.

They're called helicopters.

Don't worry, they're not coming soon!
