Flying cars

We are one step closer to flying cars:A Toyota-backed company just completed its first successful test of a levitating taxi.

 

Aren't flying cars too loud to ever be anything other than a hobby for
a few people?

 

Fly cars haha. Heard this one how many times.....

This will literally be only for the very rich. We are talking hundreds of thousands if not low millions for a flying car, aside from that insurance rates will be immense. So flying cars are decades and decades and many many many decades away from being affordable to a regular joe. And even if you cant afford one and want to taxi 1 locally im sure a taxi ride that would cost you $20 would be triple or quadruple the cost to fly in a flying car.

 

Unless they come up with a propulsion method like the Jetsons, flying cars will be variants of helicopters... too risky, not to mention other obstacles.

 

Not Helicoptors, Drones think this one has 14motors for just incase 1 fails or a few it'll stay up, considered green I guess as rechargeable but it'll flatten a battery in no time and the draw will mean the battery won't last long either, so hardly green.

 

Cool!

 

Aren't all/most drones versions of helicopter... multi blade rather than a main one?

 

It's a quadcopter you can sit in. It will never be practical.

 

That's nothing, My '01 Dodge pickup levitates all the time. Hold my beer, here we go! YEEEEEEEEEEEEE-Hah!!!!
