When will news media stop falling for this shit?

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

I've seen plenty of working flying cars since the late 90's.

Word to the media: don't bother us with this shit until they have a working idea on how to monitor and regulate the shit so we can all have flying cars and not just one dude's stupid prototype. The hard thing isn't making a car that can fly. That shit is relatively easy. The hard part is figuring out how air traffic would work if everyone was up there. It's already a PITA and there aren't a helluva lot of planes compared to cars.

I’ve already seen how ordinary people drive in two dimensions. Three dimensions is an impossible ask.

I always find it amusing when sci Fi games with flying cars have them still driving in imaginary floating highways, it's like they know they would regulate it into 2D autopilot sly roads somehow
