I did some research to whether this is real as it looks unbelievable.

It is apparently real.

Even so do we really need flying cars. As I walk back from the shop today with this beautiful clear blue sky - I do have to think - Is nothing sacred.

Who wants flying cars?

I think it’s fucking stupid. How easy for a terrorist to crash it into a stadium full of people 🤷‍♀️

It's a PR stunt, albeit a spectacular one.

Flying cars have existed for some time but they are not practical. You need so much energy to overcome gravity that it will never be a practical tool. That's why helicoptors are still incredibly expensive to operate.

Well that’s a relief because I was imagining people flying over my garden, or over my head walking down the street.
