Flying cars are a terrible idea. People can't be trusted to not drive into things or run out of gas while driving _on land_. I wouldn't want the average person flying their car anywhere near me or my property.

The only conceivable way I could see flying cars being a 'thing' is if we carved out 'air roads' for them that didn't cross over buildings or other cars. At that point, what's the benefit?

Maybe a big part of the solution is self-driving flying cars? Of course they would use Tesla batteries. And let's not forget to use Fuschia, while we're at it.

In a sense air roads could be safer. You have more flexibility for avoiding obstacles. I think it only makes sense if the vehicles on them are fully automated and operate in a highly regulated environment.

There's not much stuff to crash into in the air other than other air traffic which is far less densely distributed than things one shouldn't drive a car onto/into are on the earth's surface.

What about self-driving flying cars? If people aren't driving the flying cars and they just navigate automatically then most of these sort of issues go away.
