People literally won't be able too drive them, anyways, that's kind of the thing
A whole new layer of road and care legislation would need to be created to even regulate legally how a car that can fly CAN drive, where it can fly, etc etc, and also just the degree of overhead hazards already in most cities (power lines, lights, signs), and billion things one could crash into and the liability insurance involved, etc etc
Like, guys, the roads and world literally are not designed around flying vehicles, and flying vehicles would need active controlled routes and so on and ATC of somekind to keep billionaires from driving willy nilly and crashing into one another
This is a lot like the 'we're goona have a colony on mars in the decade' shit Musk pushes. It's a tech demo and has no real application, it isn't really something people can 'use,' and is also actively something with so many fail points that the average consumer can't actually access or buy through the sheer cost of what liabilities and so on would make licensing / insuring shit like that would be
I remember back in the 90s and instructor explaining to us that, while flying cars are cool, practically actually having flying cars would be chaos, for how bad of drivers folks already are and now adding the layer of verticality into things too. Shit would be chaos, aint no practical means to really do it without roads alone for the sheer scale of accidents it would cause.
Fuck man people on boats regularly smash into one another still going full tilt over a lake or something and that is still way less vectors than the risk flying cars have lol, we cannot practically actually use flying cars at all, this is a stunt to pump stock prices, not actually release and move a product to market.
You lost me at Fly, It didnt fly, it Jumped. Due to thrusters under neath and on its sides.
It is a very impressive concepet car, but that all it is. how would the thrusters be refilled? How long they last? Even at the end of the 'reveal' viedeo they saw we might be able to clear more? IT didnt fly, if jumped.
this is not a viable on road vehicle, ANYWHeRE. Unless the driver is Michael Knight.
Sure? It's still higher than my car can jump, which is zero feet.
this is not a viable on road vehicle, ANYWHeRE.
*so many* supercars are track only. This isn't unusual in the least.
they're asking half a million for the pre-order and 'tbd' for the full amount. you think people with that money are worried about the practicality of this thing as a daily driver?
The thrusters were filled with compressed air, they were all for show. I think the only "legit" one was the one that assisted its zero to 60 launch. Still, having to take a tank to the dive shop after launching the car is a little strange.
