    Man, on the one hand, having flying cars would be freaking cool. But on the other hand, I know the average person is absolutely not responsible enough to take proper care of it, and many more not capable of flying without crashing into a building or something. So it’s still going to be relegated to the wealthy for the foreseeable future.

      The article says they extended the maximum flight range from 10k to 15k so… It’s still too short to really have a practical use in the majority of situations. The closest grocery store where I live is about 6 miles away. I couldn’t even go shopping with this flying car (well, I could go shopping I just wouldn’t be able to return home).
