I would be perfectly happy if they just made an affordable and dependable car today that only drove on the ground. The original Ford Model A and T's still run today. They were built to run forever, unlike modern cars which are manufactured to stop working at some future point.
Honestly my main problem with a flying car is the same problem I have with small private planes and helicoptors. If you experience mechanical difficulties you can't just pull to the side of the road and call a tow truck. Even worse, flying cars can't glide like an airplane can and will drop like a stone if the engine stalls.

It won't take intelligent robots to kill humans. The dumb ones maintaned by humans will more than likely do a good job at that.
The big buzz over the last couple years has been Tesla motors and Google with their self driving cars. Humans are funny creatures, and most Americans in particular love their private cars and love being in control, so at this point I have trouble imagining self driving cars really taking off in the US. Yes, there will be many who don't like driving and would rather text or do things online instead of watching the road. The problem is that robots, and self driving cars can't maintain themselves. It takes humans to keep them operating properly. Tesla already had one death in a car that was being controlled by a computer and ran into a semi truck at an intersection. This is how robots will kill us.
Speaking of semi-trucks, there have been 4 companies start up in the last year creating computers that will allow big rigs to self drive. Yes, it can be done, but imagine if a senser fails, gets dirty or a bug splatters on the lense of a guidance camera and the truck slams into a school bus and kills a bunch of kids.

This pic is around 10 years old, but it's always been one of my favorites. A small birthday celebration with 2 of my kids acting like idiots.

On all of my home computers I've been saying no to Win10 forever. Now they're making it impossible to use certain sites unless I do the update, otherwise I just use Firefox. He'll I can't even post on XI using IE. YouTube won't let me watch video using my older version of IE.
Am I a post whore now?!

We were calling you "that little British whore" long before you ever posted anything here.
