As a kid, I was led to believe there would be flying cars by the time I was an adult. Still haven't gotten over that.

Lets keep the momentum going!

Car no fly... plane fly.

Well, this one actually did fly.

Technically there have been flying cars... not in the Jetsons mold of course but a few companies have tried to make them and have successfully pulled it off technology wise. The issue is that a vehicle that does both is pretty damn terrible at flying relative to planes and at driving relative to cars. There are tons of other issues with it too, i.e. any minor fender bender as a "car" grounds it as a plane, and pilot training requirements, etc. It's an interesting concept but one I don't think will ever be widespread like a lot of media has depicted.

C'mon you nerds. I'm talking about everyday cars that every people would fly instead of driving cars, not some prototype. My disappointment will not be appeased.

"Flying car" == small, cheap, self piloting helicopter.

The "cheap" part is the big problem. The "self piloting" part is, in many ways, simpler than self-driving cars because there are so few obstacles in comparison, but failures are much more likely to be fatal.

It only takes one company to get this idea "off the ground" though, and the barriers are price, space, and regulatory requirements. The charter helicopter business in Manhattan is booming, but only because there are enough helipads and high end customers. Get the cost down to $100 a ride instead of $1000 and allow urban takeoff/landing from a much wider variety of locations, and suddenly a whole new business model appears -- and then some municipality becomes the testbed by handwaving the regulatory environment away.

This kind of transformation isn't imminent, until it is. Just like, say, chatgpt. The foundations don't exist, until one day they do.

Rod's thoughts on the team since the west coast road trip ended:

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Three things to watch out for against Philly.

1. They're fast. Very fast. I don't know how our D will do against their speed, especially given our tendency to pinch and that going poorly for us quite often.

2. In that same vein, their PK is dangerous shorthanded. I don't need to remind anyone of the game last year where they scored two (or was it three?) shorthanded goals against us to turn a blowout into a nailbiter.

3. It's TonyD's former team. He's going to play like he's got something to prove. Which, if history is any indication, he's going to play hotheaded and take stupid retaliatory penalties. He needs to keep himself in check if we want a chance this game.

The biggest problem for flying cars is people. Way too many idiots that can't drive, can you imagine a world where you can buy a flying cars for under 10 grand.

Of course it would help world hunger, unemployment, over crowding, homelessness....

You know what? I'm kinda digging the idea.

You all went in a very different direction than I was thinking...

Should be cleaned.

There's no way that flying cars will be viable with human pilots. The skill required to fly safely enough won't scale. AI piloting skills will continue to improve exponentially. Human piloting skills surely will not.

PS: the FAA is already prepped for this and expecting self piloting vehicles by 2028. Flying Cars Will Need A Human Pilot, Operate Mostly Like Helicopters Until 2028, FAA Says | Carscoops

But in our current equality environment how can you let some people fly (licensed pilots) and not others? I mean watching some YouTube videos of people getting pulled over for actually violating rules and laws you gotta realize driving is a right!

Please delete this post. This is Halle's prediction. It's a long standing tradition. The last time you posted 5-1 loss, the team lost.
