More than two of me could fit in, but why? Ugly, clumsy looking and of doubtful value. What kind of license wold. you need? How would routes be determined or coud we justy fly all over the place at any hour of day and night?

For a long while that was the primary reason we didnt have them.
No ATC and untrained mentally unstable drivers were said to need self flying cars that would all be AI controlled.
Put in or speak destination and after it connected and got the route it would fly you to your destination and land itself.
Not that I liked that version.
In the 70s Moeller promised me a flying car that had more of a Battlestar Gallactica Viper fighter look, Id prefer that one.

Are Hellfire missiles an option?Sure but that's a bit of overkill. I think small arms fire can take this down. ;-)

I’d like one along the lines of Little Nellie from James Bond.

I’d want one like Scaramanga had in Man With The Golden Gun.

Too bad we won't see Moeller's Volantor anytime soon.

You thought you were going to the grocer but the sheriff had heard that you made a disparaging statement about the government and has sent the vehicle orders to bring you in.

Both of my sons in their 50's would love one of those.

I think you’ve got the gist of it.

Cool idea and neat technology but with 20 minutes of flight time and a speed of 55 mph it isn’t very practical.

Maybe TEMU will come out with a cheaper knockoff.
