That is certainly technology that is looking like it has promise. I still dont get the concept since we have helicopters. I am on record as saying that it might end up moving cargo around but I dont think people will end up using it.

You may be right. The domain name I almost bought years ago aircar dot com, now redirects to aircargo carriers dot com. I could maybe see this as a fast shuttle service to avoid road traffic out of airports. But like you said, they have helicopters for that as well.

Yeah I mean if helicopters arent widely used, why would VTOLs. I dont know, many there will be radically different pricing which could make them more appealing.

But think of the publicity when the first one crashes.

Exactly. I'm struggling to see where flying cars would fit in. Helicopters always get in the way. Maybe delivery services like Amazon and FedEx for upscale customers who want that package now? But then you have delivery drones as well. This may be yet another reason I didn't purchase that domain. I couldn't see a market for flying cars.

I think they will be just a fancy option for rich hipsters or something like that

How bad will the crashes be? Will it smash into a building and cause a large amount of chaos?

Did you want to buy that to re-sell later or did you have plans for that domain?

That was back during the squatting phase when people read about that story of someone buying a domain name and then selling it for 12 million dollars. I would have held and then flipped it.

I didn't buy it due to the lack of information about researh into flying cars, thinking I'd have to hold it too long.

So did it sell yet or are you still waiting?

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Oh right

I have a friend who did that with the name of our hometown. It did not sell for much though

I tend to agree with you on that one.

But they do look cool though... lol

I think the fact that it is something that dates back to the Jetsons is what is causing people to pursue this because it is "futuristic".

I think autonomous driving and bullet trains will be a bigger deal.

Yea, that's probably the case
