And just what if several hundred thousand of your fellow frustrated commuters strap on their own jet packs and “sky up” at the same time, headed for the same downtown destination? Multiple midair carnage on a horrific scale!
Actually with some sort of computer-managed flight control systems, combined with GPS guidance... it might make flying cars and personal jetpaks actually workable and safe (from a traffic point of view, anyway).
But then again... when I see what the seagulls do to my newly-washed car... it makes me glad that people can't fly.
