People like flying cars. People liked flying cars a lot in the 2000s. This is a video about some of those flying cars. I’m not sure what you expected.

Blade Runner style flying cars are now possible! The arguments in this video no longer apply because the technology has changed. Affordable real roadable Blade Runner style flying cars for the masses are now possible, and we are developing such a vehicle called Sky Chaser. It has 4 car wheels and looks and drives like a car, and flies both vertically and horizontally, and is even amphibian. It will be both manual and fully autonomous. Sky Chaser has no exposed rotors and no unfolding wings, and uses the body as a wing. It just flies the way it looks! It is fully electric and eventually will be hydrogen powered, giving it hours of range. We have developed a full scale working prototype. Now we are looking for partners to help develop a manned version. Our goal is to develop the vehicle for mass production for personal transportation. The design is very simple and should be affordable for all.

Humans are not ready for flying cars. Humans will never be ready for flying cars. Lets just like work on eliminating the human driver aspect before even dreaming of letting the general population our species pilot any more vehicles. Or like literally ANYTHING ELSE that is actually a worthwhile endeavour (like solving one of the many MANY extential crisis we are facing most of which would get significantly worse with mass adoption of flying cars)

@@Kraflyn With the mass and velocity a flying car would have in most designs (it's essentially a glorified mini plane) it would be very easy to use as a projectile to be hurled towards buildings. With vehicles that can move faster than what we have in the hands of the general population means more opportunities to weaponize it. If we have 100 million people flying around in their own cars that have the ability to move very fast there's not much from preventing a suicidal individual for example from crashing it into a house or a massive building and causing millions in damage and loss of life. If flying cars did exist in the hands of every sane and responsible civilian (which can only be inferred from the outside meaning some mental problems are pretty hard to detect) then there would have to be a way of ensuring it won't just be accelerated to say 100 or 200 m/s and then crashed into something. It's a real problem that would have to be dealt with.

We already have issues with bad drivers on a regular car driving in 2D movement. Imagine how much more worse if you have bad drivers in flying cars in 3D movement. Aviation is one of the most regulated industries out there. Pilots have to be trained to very high standards, and there are very strict aviation rules and laws to follow. Your average Joe would not be able to take to the skies and just be expected to abide by those rules and regulations.

3:01 as an engineering major, I can confirm that the stability issue is still a problem with flying vehicles. I never worked on the project or knew the workers personally , however they were working on a flying motorcycle and the stability issue was the thing that was screwing them. They attempted to use a computer program to recognize when the vehicle was off-balance but it was a ongoing process.

I got bit by the flying car bug when I was a kid. I'm 35 now. I've been obsessed with flying cars since I was 9. It's just such a beautiful idea and I'd love to have that freedom. One of my goals in life is to build a flying car. It's sounds ridiculous and it's no easy task but it's in my heart. Like so many people before me, I've been burdened with the urge to try and make that idea a reality and I really want to. Not my fault I can't afford it yet haha. Even if I could only make one just for myself I would do it. You know how incredibly frustrating it is to grow up obsessed with an idea but not have the ability to see it through and watch people like Paul Moller piss away millions of dollars on garbage prototypes and empty promises? It's infuriating. I always said I'd never be like them, I'd just make an honest effort to make the dream come true. It is a space rife with scam artists. There's hope on the horizon though. I know flying cars are always 2-5 years away but things are changing. I've grown more cynical and doubtful of people's technological promises over the years and I'm nowhere near as gullible as I was when I was 14 lol. Now though there is an actual up and coming market segment that is leading the way for "flying cars" in the form of air taxis for urban air mobility. No, I don't consider them flying cars myself, but evtols are absolutely a part of our future transportation infrastructure. All the right pieces are aligning. With slightly better batteries and new regulations it's going to blast off and be a game changer. These aren't just empty promises with tethered prototypes either. These are vehicles that have been proven in flight, made with technology that people can put together in their backyard! Look at Volocopter. They started with a bunch of drone rotors strapped to a friggin yoga ball. Now they have a working vehicle that is as easy to fly as a car is to drive. They aren't alone either. The space has filled up so fast in the last few years it's insane. Governments are lining up to create new regulations for the industry. I love watching it all develop. My only hope is that I can also be a part of it.

I always thought the concept of flying cars is naïve. If you get in a fender bender on the road you swap insurance and go about your day. If you get in a fender bender in the sky you both plummet to your deaths. There's a reason you don't see bumper to bumper traffic in the sky.

There is a flying car. It can land in any parking lot and fold up to fit neatly in a standard parking space. It's been available for purchase and flying for 40 years. It's called the Robinson R-22, later R-44. The problem with flying cars isn't that you can't make them, it's that it's very hard to fly them and normal people can't be trained to do that. And aircaft need very intensive and regular maintenance regular people can't handle.

It pleases me to realize that I was an adult (or close enough) for the entire period of the modern examples given, and yet I paid each of these literally zero heed. It isn't hard to understand the exponentially higher challenges flying cars offer over regular ones, to the point that safety alone will be a gigantic hurdle when the capability is reached. This video made me realize how much these companies and a Theranos have in common. If it seems too amazing to be true...

I'd imagine testing is done with lots of padding etc around in case of failure. It's likely this wouldn't make for good footage unless weird angles are used. Risk vs reward of promo flights probably errs on the side of as few as possible until more capital has been raised. That's how I'd play it in their position.

So maybe that's why flying cars have been promised to take off.

With how drones are being handled, I think the FAA might have a plan before flying cars become a commercial product. That plan will probably say that flying cars must maintain a distance of less than 500 feet off the ground and be heavily regulated to stay within designated lanes. It'll just be a more dangerous and more user-expensive highway.

So regarding 9/11. The primary that is fuel deposition into a building. The actual kinetic impact did pretty mild damage that could've just been repaired. The actual fatal blow was igniting vast amounts of jet fuel inside an office building. So most of these vehicles wouldn't even enter the building and those that do might make small local fires. Look what happens when someone runs a Cessna or hell, even a B-25 into a building? Not so much damage.

I'm old enough to remember you could actually order some of these allegedly flying cars as early as the mid 80s. But they only came broken down to their smallest parts, meaning you had to put them together yourself - a task virtually impossible for the common man. Not to mention you could never really use them due to legislation stopping everyone without a proper permit to use any part of the air space. A permit that was impossible to attain because there never existed any form of proper training possibilities nor any form of certification for the machines themselves. Basically a scam for anyone with more money than brain. Not that I know of anyone evet being sold at that time.
