RE: Toyota Looks To Flying Cars For 2020 Olympics

in #technology • 8 years ago

or electric flying cars :) lol 👌
i'm sure the multi-billion dollar companies working on this technology have considered its potential and if it were zero then they wouldn't be funneling as much money as they are into it. But we'll have to wait and see! it's good to have options. They thought the segway was going to get mass adopted too lol do you know anyone who owns a segway? 👎 lol

Sort:  

Electric flying cars will certainly exist as a solution to specific transport needs. Don't let my pessimism curtail too much :)

Yeah Segway was a dud.

Segway is not a thing because of economics. Electric flying cars are not a thing because of tech.

Flying cars in general are not around at all because of the terrible risk-reward trade off. No city wants flying cars overhead - even if they are 99.999% safe.

There really is not that much money pouring into flying car research.
