Tomcat if i remember right, we got flying cars a long time ago.
we have not however developed flying car friendly infrastructure.

    xyz yall talking about them cars, somebody give me this.
    It supposed to be in 2015.. now its almost 10 years later and we are not even close..

        xyz Give us the proper flying cars, like Deckard's:

        kuligs2 It supposed to be in 2015.. now its almost 10 years later and we are not even close..

        Human civilization (from the first stationary settlements) is about 7K years old. (By some assumptions — 9-10K.) An error of 10 years is less than a statistical error. Wait a bit, about 50-100 years — and they will appear.

            xyz I mean given enough force even a brick can fly, but unless we get extremely safe miniature fusion power plants I don't see it happening. But there are street legal autogyros for certain regions and places. Whether it's a horse driver cart or motorized, whether it has 2 wheel or 3 or 4. If it can carry passengers, and go from point A to B I'd say it's a car[t]. 🙂

            Also, a autogyro, while a rotor vehicle isn't exactly the same thing as a helicopter. Gyrocopter is an applicable alternative term. The top rotor is freely moving, and not motorized. It can't do VTO like a helicopter can, though both can do autorotation for landing safely given the operator does the right things for that(in case of helis engine needs to be disengaged).

              @xyz i do admittedly engage in run on sentences and paragraphs. I find it easier to type how i think than try to type how others read. I will try to break it up some more, i thought i already had, i think the new lines ill just put empty spaces between.

              That does make me wonder what a chat bot would have to say about all this. I may have to put a little time in that direction. As far as chasing a fallacy. I completely agree that most whimsical ideas don't come to reality, but all grand ideas do start as an absurd notion to someone. The realists certainly have their place and probably take the "W" more than the dreamers, but from electricity, flight, space travel, genetics, computing, etc most of those ideas came from a place of absurdity from the "realists" at the time.

              @kuligs2 in my high school physics class we had a "hover board", it was a hover craft imo. It did work and made a great way to get the class interested in the lesson(s) for a chance to "ride" on it. You'd get a small push and float around a little bit, it did have to be plugged in to run so you could only move so far. I know i saw a drone style hover board, if that counts? https://omnihoverboards.com

              @DaveTheCoder I remember first seeing that in cs50... and was pretty amazed at how fast time goes by. Hopefully they dont forger an old nuclear bunker lol

                 We can improve on a computer, unlike the dumb iPhone 20's, pardon my language. There is a point where you can't improve something, like the plastic water I am drinking. You can make the plastic thicker to make it less harmful for humans, But it takes MORE MONEY. I'm sure if we find a cheap way to make ai bots that make code, it will happen.

                                                                                               Where my Xbox 100 XS at

              I don't know why it did that.

              Where are the cars that run on water? Gone. They killed the people who made them... dont you think big companys would keep a ai that makes code to themselves?
