[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Speaking of flying cars...

[Steve Isenberg]

Nice looking car/aircraft for sure.
But there are a number of important issues to consider with the concept of
flying cars.
One is: the crowded skies, and the potential for damage and loss of
innocent life due to a crash.  You might not live on a highway but with
flying cars then everywhere is a potential highway.
Anyone flying would have to follow FAA flight rules and need to be
certified (flying license, medical certificate); plus additional
certifications if flying in bad weather or for hire.

The idea of seeing a traffic jam and suddenly taking off and flying over
it, is unrealistic, given the "needs 2500 feet runway" which would be
difficult to find in a traffic jam; plus the presence of wires and bridges
over and nearby the roadways.
Also to consider would be the airspeed required to support a takeoff,
probably around 150mph.

But I'm raining on your parade.

It would be neat to fly yourself over traffic jams; as I'm sure some on
this list are pilots and have done so (as have I).
