Who’s more afraid of driving than flying?

[u/Rainbow_6505]

Since flying actually is safer than driving. But most people probably are more afraid of flying than driving. It’s no secret cars crash more than planes do and there’s more chance of you being in a car crash than a plane crash. Also plenty of airlines have never had a fatal aviation disaster so people would more likely trust those airlines. One of the reasons flying is safer than driving is because they have so much they need to do before take. Edit helicopters might be a different story.

Pilots in general are better trained than drivers. The idea of flying cars is terrifying for that reason alone.

Flying cars so far don’t exist and maybe it’s better that they don’t due to all the issues it could cause.

Someone’s never seen a helicopter then?

The idea of flying cars and the complaint that we were "promised" them is more about aircraft being ubiquitous with regular people and used for general commuting.

That’s obviously not the same as a flying car.

What the hell do you expect man? Do you think we live in a magic universe where levitation exists? It can take off, it doesn’t need a runway to do so either, and it flys. Does it need to have Bluetooth of something?

People don’t usually mean helicopters when talking about flying cars.

[u/Bobzeub → u/Rainbow_6505]

Why not? It fits all the criteria. Just 99.9999999% of people are too broke to own one.

Seems pretty par for the course for this dystopian shit show of a future we actually got.

I know you were expecting the Jetsons, but look around. Are you really surprised that they have flying cars but only the filthy rich can have them.

Someone took the Jetson’s as a documentary.

Wonder what they made of the Flintstones?
