/sci/ - Science & Math

but where are they?

>>11771176
Sounds like what someone who wants flying cars would say.

>>11771176
Yeah i dont give a shit about that. I want flying cars.

>>11771182
This is bait but just in case anyone was wondering: a moment's google search of air traffic control logistics would confirm to even an 11 year old kid why flying cars would be an absolute nightmare and furthermore why we don't fucking need them given the litany of options available for high-speed transport.

If you want a "flying car" and you live in a non-urban area, get a helicopter license, buy an ultralight or a glider, each of which cost about the same as a new car, and have a good fucking time.

>>11771194
But look how empty the road is.

>>11771194
Had to ruin a fun thread by being the "smart guy" didnt you.

>>11771194
Why not use all those other developments to make flying cars happen?

>>11771176
>build rocket that is reusable and lands itself
let me guess... you would love to suck musk's sweaty balls?

>>11771194
Was about to say this.
Air traffic is a huge deal. Flying cars are stupid.
It's an aircraft and just like any aircraft, it requires a pilot who passed flying school

Coz all of this combined doesnt come close to widely available flying cars
So their complaint is very valid

>>11771227
In this diagram, you can see how safe it actually is.

FUCK FLYING CARS! What we need is improved internet infrastructure and normalize corporate work from policy and easily accessible community shipment hubs. We should be attempting to eliminate the need for cars, which are wasteful, polluting, money pits.

>>11771176
Are you aware of the fact that Larry Page has been pouring millions in flying cars research over the past few years? It's going to finally happen, we just need better self-driving AI and batteries

>>11771226
Musk has ninjas. Do you have ninjas?

>>11771176
>Consumer rage.

Discarded.

>>11771176
>but wher r the flying cars tho
We call those Jetsons cars. JTson's cars will be here soon. They already exist in secret but those who hate the good works the Lord has done regarding measurement and number conspire to keep them secret lest they bring glory to God.

What about exoskeleton suit remote controlled androids to perform all manual labor.

>>11771201
fucking kek anon, ur amazing

>>11771176
GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!
OKAY! I'LL BUILD YOU A FLYING FUCKING CAR! DAMN IT!
HERE! TAKE THESE IN THE MEAN TIME!
OBVIOUSLY YOU MEAN SOMETHING LIKE A LEVITATION OFF THE ROAD RIGHT?!
NOT THIS GUY:

OR THIS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRZNLBL7Px4
BUT SOMETHING THAT LITERALLY FLIES LIKE A VOLVO OR FERRARI AND LOOKS COMPLETELY STREAMLINE. ZERO BALLOONS.
CORRECT?! ZERO PROPELLERS. RIGHT!?
WELL FUCKING WAIT. I ALREADY KNOW HOW. JUST FUCKING WAIT.

>>11771782
lilium's is the only one i think will pan out-given how fast battery tech is improving in energy density, cost and lifetime i could see these things really cutting into the helicopter market. Not only that, they're way safer than helicopters since they don't have giant spinning exposed blades and they have a less unforgiving flight profile.

The idea of taking an electric air taxi for a ride across a city sounds like fun.

>>11771831
Yeah but OP probably means something like The Fifth Element. I really can't take it anymore. I JUST CAN'T!
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GRILL ME?! I JUST WANTED TO KEEP ONE! (1) IDEA TO MYSELF! BUT NOooOOOooooOOOoooOO YOU GOTTA TURN IT INTO A SPACE DORITO THAT EVERYBODY GETS TO SNACK ON! DAMNIT!

>>11771849
How the hell are you gonna make a car fly without propellers/jets and/or balloons?

>>11771854
OH I HAVE WAYS ANON.
I HAVE MY WAYS!

>>11771194
haha imagine some american boomer flying his pickup truck in to some wallstreet tower now that would be kino

>>11771857
Finley? Is that you?

>>11771176
>>map out entire human genome and create mechanism to edit it in vivo
but where are the cat girls?

>>11771774
based tooky bringing us the truth

>>11771176
Well, nerds? WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE FLYING CARS?

>>11771194
>flying cars would be an absolute nightmare and furthermore why we don't fucking need them given the litany of options available for high-speed transport.
Now that's some sour grapes shit if I ever saw it.

>lilium
The video is absolutely cringe.

>>11771176
Because the concept is simple in idea but not yet implemented.

>>11771182
They're called airplanes.

>>11771854
Magnets, dude

>>11771854
laser guided hovercrafts (like giant air hockey) run on stacked up glass roads - that way if you want it to look how it does in sci fi movies with lanes upon lanes stretching thousands of meters you can.

>>11771194
no you are a retard they could easily designate a maximun height and speed and areas to transit. just like highways except you dont have to build them. Noise is the only problem i can think of but it will sonn be solved as we begin to understand fluids

Yeah, they would be dope, but millenials are too busy in wantign to suck cock to even buy a regular car. I we had a 60s mindset they would already be a thing.
A mini airplane/helicopter basically

>>11775657
Based and airway pilled.

>>11771176
see this thread, where are the flying cars tho?

>>11775664
dick>cars anyday

>>11771782
These are all really shit solutions to the problem. Moller was really close but burned out. The right solution is a subtle play with laminar flow, not quadcopter nonsense.
