How annoying it is when you are stuck in a traffic amidst a bunch of cars to reach your destination? It is probably one of the most inevitable things that each one of us face. In order to work upon this, inventions on flying cars have been started back in 1900s. However most of them couldn't taste success. Engineers now have come up with different designs which can speed upto 400mph(644kmph) and cruise at 350mph(563kmph). How do you think is the world's on road traffic being improvised and at the same time the safety concerns of the flying cars?

While a fluing car sounds great for you as an individual can you even come close to emagining the nightmare that would ensure. There would be no regulations that could ever solve people who always need to be at the head of the line. People needing to go in every which direction. There is no concieveable way that fliing cars could ever work except in the lab.
A high speed transit system makes a lot more sense as at least there cold be some way of controlling it. Flying cars fall in the same concept of cars that drive themselves. Unless everyone that drives or flys follow the rules it would be impossible to do either. Just one person not following the rulse would get a lot of people killed.

Hi! I really appreciate your comment. It's absolutely true that many hazardous accidents may take place in the skies. But have you ever realised inspite of infringing more strict traffic laws 1000s of accidents take place in the world. Howevermost of the flying cars are coming up with the GPS systems where in you can feed you destination and can reach there within the less expected time.

I personally think that if flying cars were to be made, that traffic would be all the more worse. Imagine idiots just roaming around the skies..And on top of that, the idiots who drink and drive at the same time. Not only could they crash into houses and run over people on the ground level, but also flying into a random person's roof. Or the ground itself for that matter. There are so many things that can go wrong with a flying car. Especially if the person doesn't exactly know how to 'fly' it properly. Also, there would have to be a ton of new traffic laws and more people hired to make people follow the traffic laws.
Although that would be cool to see flying cars. Also, it would probably be very convenient to get to places quicker and without the hassle of corners and turns.
Among other things..

Hi! You have got a good point for arguing it. But dear friend, there will be new laws which will be in effect as soon as they are launched in the market. Yes, we all not like changes to take place around us and it's the human tendency to be away from the changes. Actually there are technical issues which will take some time to overcome these problems. There are GPS involved in these cars where you can just feed in your destination and reach ther within no time. There are also parachutes and other safety equipments which are a part of these cars.
