When will news media stop falling for this shit?

Oh, yes, when it stops generating clicks. I am part of the problem.

    1. When I was a kid I used to think it would be cool to have flying cars. As an adult I think about all the jets and helicopters and drones that already fly over my home and how annoying they are. The amount of noise of a fleet of cars taking off out of the neighborhood would make in the morning would be absolutely unbearable.

    2. Looking at the underside of this “car” shows there are no drive axles, wires or motors going to the wheels, making it just a weird-shaped helicopter with wheels for no reason.

    3. This video looks very fake. Were there no witnesses in this demonstration?

    4. As others have already mentioned, regulations. Air traffic is tightly-controlled, and for good reason. There aren’t really any technical limitations to flying cars. Shit’s just dangerous, especially by unqualified individuals and en masse.

    5. There’s no way this thing survives any sort of crash test.
