      For real, it frustrates me that flying cars and autonomous cars get all the investment they do, like we don’t have any other use for those millions of dollars.

    I wish you guys came out with more content, eben though u have a lot. Maybe try a trial podcast where it's just straight riffing, without a script to follow, where u bring guests in on calls and get more engaged with the fans, sort of like talk radio. Either way I will be following yall for a long time to come. Keep up the great content!

    People have made road-legal flying cars since the 30s- They all go out of business, usually before they can sell a dozen units. Because, despite what the Jetsons told us, flying cars are kind of a dumb idea. Inherently expensive, dangerous as hell, a nightmare to manage and regulate, very limited practicality, and in the end, combining a car with a plane just gives you a terrible car AND a terrible plane, but more expensive than both, together.
    Think about this- Have you ever in your life, been in a car that shat itself on the road, and you either had to pull off to the side and fix it, or call for help? It sucks, but it's not a big deal, right? But how would that have turned out, if it had happened at 15,000ft? And, how many times have you ever seen other people pulled off to the side of the road to fix their car, in your life? So, what would happen if every single one of those instances represented two tons of metal crashing to earth at terminal velocity, in the middle of suburbia? This is just one of several reasons why flying cars (as a common, everyday thing) just won't ever happen.
    The problems with flying cars isn't any technological limitation- We dealt with all those, almost a century ago. The problem with flying cars is just that "flying cars" (as an everyday thing, for normal people) is just a dumb idea. There is a REASON why they've existed 80 years, and have been nothing but a super-rare, totally impractical novelty for rich eccentrics, that whole time (which won't change anytime in the future)...

    I think it would work if we drove and set the destination and time in the cars on board computer like it's Google map or waze. Drive to the designated take off point. Let the car fly itself like a Tesla (once they get autopilot under control) under plane lanes so we don't interfere with planes. Other than that I'm against people flying cars. 90% of Tennessee (where I live anyway) can't drive.
