Comment on The World's First Mass-Produced Flying Car Is Here and It Costs $1 Million
druidjaidan@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoThis is more complicated than you think. The vast majority of airports in the US are tiny little things you would barely know are there unless you’re a pilot. Most don’t have rental car services. Many are in communities where even lyft/uber are not available.
The flying car thing is still pretty dumb. But it’s not as dumb as it might first sound. One of the #1 problems my family has when we fly our (very small, very old) plane on trips is how to get from the airport to anyplace reasonable.

Yeah, I imagine parts of the US is probably pretty ideal for this. Where I'm from you'll find remote places where it would make sense, but you probably wouldn't want to drive around in a rather low riding sports car on the roads in these places. I guess this thing probably won't be street legal in Europe anyway.
