Reply to comment by Surur in Flying cars can actually eventually become a thing by Jalen_1227

why do you assume that? If the "flying car" is to be a thing, then the restrictions and controls that planes are required to be held up to (such as not flying over dense population areas at low altitudes), pre-flight checks (which are extensive) etc would have to be minimized. ai isn't going to do all of that for you.

Unless we are admitting that this would only be for the elite and not for the average person, in which case they already have access to any form of transport they want anyway.

Why? Axiomatically this will not happen if we have to rely on humans. Everyone is talking about the future and you are talking about the present. Did you forget which sub you are in?

In any real implementation like this, the system will be completely automated and you would not own or control the vehicle.

my speculation is that no true ai will be driving cars for us and somehow doing all the preflight checks. it will be "AI" in quotes, similar to what we call ai currently.

my speculation is we are smart enough to never adopt flying cars

Well, let's just say I agree we are not smart enough to have flying cars without true AI, so the two are inextricably linked.
