A flying car by ALEF Aeronautics received preliminary approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. ALEF CEO Jim Dukhovny joins "NewsNation Prime" to ex...
Runs on electricity or other low/zero emission fuel source
Lasts an appreciable amount of time before recharge
Then it may free up public roads enough to push pedestrian and bike usage while offering people a large incentive to go electric. I just don’t think the technology for personal automobile-aircraft hybrids is there yet.
Why make one more lane bro up in the sky when we can make trains? We already have the technology to solve traffic and it DOESN’T involve making more cars, flying or otherwise. All flying cars would do to traffic is jam it up at the places where you park, and also create traffic in unplanned places like people’s attics and second floor apartments.
So, what you’re saying is maybe one more lane in space then? /s
FWIW, I totally agree. It’s just that I’ve lost hope in people after disposable single-use Li-Po battery banks. Who knows, maybe I’m wrong and the public will start to push more for public transit rather than buy the next new shiny.
Flying cars are stupid.
Hey, if someone can actually do it in a way that:

I’d love to be proven wrong.

I try, but it does feel kind of hopeless.
It also needs a battery that can handle thousands of charge cycles while being light enough to fly and powerful enough to run the motors.
Hopefully it’s not using a lipo battery. Sending a huge lithium battery to the landfill every 200-300 charges isn’t exactly environmentally friendly.
