Flying taxis!? Oh man I'm making a career change. 😎👍🏻

[arrowghost]

Kind of sad that it remains a science fiction dream like we saw in Jetsons and Coruscant. 😭

[stormtrooper]

What so troublesome..?
Young men love to play computers.. this is nothing to them.. ✌😁👍

[charlescraig]

Can anyone suggest to me any means of earning? I’m in a huge debt and my salary is very low 🙏😔

[catchavibecav]

Imagine someone crashing in a Tower... Wont be a thing in New York and anywhere else with skyscrapers.

You can make a jet battery smaller then use it

[rejiequimiguing]

Needs big rotors or wings. It is cheaper to propel big volume of air with low acceleration than to squirt small volume of air at high acceleration.

Are you serious? these are mini planes, these are NOT flying cars, they are flying planes or you can call them drones. Now they want to make us forget the definition of a car or what it looks like. When technology finally builds a flying car, wings will pull out from the sides or hood or under.

Tow trucks for the first flying car to make an unscheduled (and there will a first one) stop? Roundabouts for flying cars? Who has right of way?

[johningram]

Forget batteries, Hydrogen is the way to go.

[rajmulay]

If these will get in workforce and noise will be on its peak.💀☠💀☠💀☠

[debasisghadai]

Flying cars is possible, I also wish we could build cars that'll be nuclear powered but it's almost not possible.

[TimeStringTheoryandBanjoPlayin]

Yes! There were to be flying cars by 2000. This was predicted when I was in 3rd grade. Also phones were predicted that you could see who you were talking to! Ha! That’s never going to happen!

[wanchikibrahim]

Flying cars? Ask Elon Musk! Batteries should be self charging so that they dont have to be charged from outside the vehicle!

[kiraunleashed]

Flying cars? Wth these are jus mini helicopters…🤷🏻‍♀️

[KarmeshMadhavi]

they can't prevent the raod accident. they want to give flying car to public?

[kaushikchoudhary]

Doesn't look like a sustainable mean s of transport. It may please some billionaire or so but not me.

[J.D.Mc.]

5 bucks says Elon Musk figures it out and dominates the market.

[jpz]

It possible but it looked like a drone and there would only be a flight path for it not just anywhere in anticipation of crash and crash landing civilian and properties should not be damage to cause wide destruction and fatalities in an area.
