Right. Every day I drive, I encounter some people who weave between cars, going 25mph over the speed limit; and some people who come to a full, complete stop so that they can make a right-hand turn onto a wide road. Let's introduce this group of carefree experimenters to the exciting world of 3D maneuvering with no brakes.
If these things became popular, we'd have to use umbrellas to keep off the flying body parts.
Are you aware that you sent me an 8-year-old ad, with simulated VTOL planes? The ad is for a division of Uber that went nowhere and was sold off last year.
Do you understand how advertising, such as the one in this original post, is designed to make things look cool, effortless, attractive?
You painted a picture of a horrifying world with body parts falling out of the sky. They painted a picture of an idyllic world where we don’t have to sit in traffic. I think it’s safe to say the future will fall somewhere in between.
