Elon is unintelligent enough to think that flying cars are a good idea when most people either suck at driving normally or can barely afford gas for a regular car, let alone a flying car that would need way more energy to work.

He actually gave a speech a while ago about how stupid flying cars are.

It's not about the flying, it's about the failures and what they mean.

It is also about the flying.

Like, thruster based VTOL capability is the most energy hungry form of flying. There is a reason planes have Wings and helicopters have blades.

If you ever want a flying car to be remotely able to lug its own energy storage around for a distance longer than a quick jump, you will always end up back at the plane/helicopter design.
