Current technology will not allow for a wide spread flying car.
There will have to be some type of force to counter gravity that is NOT spinning blades. We float on top of a crust on the earth so there is no energy required to counter gravity. Instead we have resistance to a forward force in the form of drag. Which we will also have if airborne.
Not to mention there are some really crappy vehicles on the road that are under maintained. Which is for the most part fine because if they fail they just get moved to the side of the road and towed away. They don't suddenly fall out of the sky and kill the people in them and anyone on the ground they crash into. Even brand new cars have problems. I'm a pilot and I can only begin to tell you how expensive maintenance on our aircraft are. Even then they have failures.
Nope, we are going to need some type of easy to build fusion power sources which can power a neutral magnetic or some other force that just allows the vehicles to float up and down. Then another force can be applied forward.

So what's going to be the next step below the nm? Are they going to say .5nm? An attometer?

Can't wait to see the performance comparisons of the 4080's and the AMD cards that are $900

At this point no one should use that cable. It sucks but it looks like the Corsair cable and the ones being made by CableMods are the way to go. I'm waiting for the 4080 and if it uses a similar cable, I'll get that 90 degree cable from cable mod. Will look nicer anyways.

It's crazy how the Simpsons has just had legs for decades. With everything that is coming out on Disney+, the Simpsons is still their most watch show by far!
