That’s a bit unfair. You can actually buy a flying car today. A few companies recently got their vehicle fully certified and are doing commercial sales. It’s not cheap. If you can’t afford a second Ferrari don’t bother.
The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.
And the modern replacement for the helicopter is the eVTOL. That one is also often called a flying car, although they’re not street legal. As far as I know nobody died in an eVTOL yet.
Right but none are what the past thought of. None of these are cars or street legal really in any way.
Also it’s cheating to say no one has died in them if nobody is really flying around them. There have been crashes but like a really limited sample size.

@sharkfucker420 We would have flying cars and spaceships in future
The future:

Yeah it’s called a helicopter.
Most of the extremely wealthy use then to avoid traffic and occasionally die in them cause flying is more complicated than SciFi made it seem.
Look at the mansions and companies that all include landing pads. They aren’t just for die hard movies.

@SlopppyEngineer Ok so define flying car? How is a flying car possible lol. Shape of car will be aerodynamic maybe

Holy gucamoly! How does the engineering work?? I never seen something like this bruh 🤯
Edit: Damn, seems like something like this was tried before too but did not last for long it seems

Yeah, turns out it’s easier and cheaper to charter a jet and rent a car at the destination.
