Flying Cars - George Jetson coming soon? (1 Viewer)

You can go down this worm hole if you like.  looks like a few articles are linked about this stuff.  

I'm wondering if we have any air traffic controllers that can weigh in on this.  I just don't know how you would create a highway system, or whatever, to prevent idiots running into each other.  I mean, I'm sure it won't be too crowded in 2025, but by 2050, this could be a real problem.  

We can't even figure out how to get people to merge onto a highway in a two dimensional space.  You think we are going to have any luck adding a 3rd?  

I'm skeptical.  I guess they would have to be autonomous, but just like the cars on the road, how much can you trust that?

I just did an interview with a company that has a lot of automation for its 1000+ robots so they don't run in to each other.  I imagine the technology would have to be something like that.  I have no background in this (which is why I am not expecting a call back from said company), but it does interest me. 

I have so many questions about this.

Let's get autonomy working on the ground first. People are awful drivers now, the last thing we need are mini plane crashes every time someone decides to text and fly, or eat cereal, or even apply makeup at the wheel.

The Germans have been sitting on this for years.

Where we’re going we don’t need roads!

Not gonna happen. We'll still be grounded in a hundred years.
