    I enjoy how you’re always so authentic and still keep everything so fun.

    Tbf mass-produced flying cars would either require wacky physics or incredible amounts of energy in a condensed space. I’m not sure we’ll see it in our lifetime or even the next gen’s. As always, the real dream-killer is physics 😔😔

      People can’t be trusted to drive on the ground, if they were 100s of feet in the air??😱😱😱

      @@AlexEdwards-sy4yo I think this would be the one scenario we could trust self-driving with, far fewer obstacles.

      ​@rapdactyl sorry but I cant put the words trust and self driving in the same sentence. Other than that one of course 😂

    There are roughly 150K car crashes every day. Now give those people flight.

    A flying car is a meteor.

    Budget is the reason. Those things are possible, but there’s no way you could mass produce and keep things affordable. Remember, business and profit trumps science. Only reason we went to the moon was because the government thru unlimited money at it

    While the code part is mostly true remember this isn’t the 80s. Most useful basic apps already exist. It’s going to flood the app store with trash that will never be maintained.

    Please stop with the ai.. it’s getting out of hand 🫶

    And also AI consumes more energy than a whooooole bunch of countries, meaning we could dedicate all that money and energy to saving people’s lives. Today. Right now.

    People can’t handle bicycles and you trust them with flying cars?

    “Ai could make us all obsolete… gonna take a few years, hopefully” my guy. Hopefully? If you needed further proof that unaware tech bros are going to accelerate us towards our doom lol

    We don’t need or want AI. Movies about AI’s are popular because they’re scary. Tech companies push AI for $.
