If that had been me in that Kevin Smith skit, I would have given Randal a bag fat “No” about flying cars from the get-go. It’s just a bad idea. First off, think about the antics people get up to daily just with vehicles that are constrained to two dimensional movement. Now imagine the damage possible with omnidirectional craft. Yeah, thanks but no thanks. Plus, unless the “flying car” is basically a glorified personal airplane, the technology it has to incorporate — an anti-gravity or maglev system, plus the power source necessary to make it work — could be put to so much better uses elsewhere.
Still waiting 🙂
Ha. Popular Mechanics has been promising me that flying car since 1956.
And I’ve seen articles from the early 1960s claiming that self-driving cars would be a reality by the 1970s.

Flying cars can’t happen until we find a cure for the common cell-phone.
“The flying car is the next big thing, and it always will be.”
Nice deep cut there, Cooper.
