Our only hope of survival is that the machine will be totally automatic and the passengers cannot drive it.

That's actually the idea behind what NASA is working on, as I understand it. Partially, anyhow. A lot of the flying would be done by the aircraft, and much less by the pilot.

I spent three years building a fully-functional flying car, but I left it in drive and it flew away.

As a 4 year veteran of I-5 in the California Central Valley, and based on the observed average driver competency in cars
on the ground, I beg to differ!
My guess is several hundred years, if ever.

Even at a $100k..the insurance premiums would be bigger than the payments...actually, trial lawyers are probably funding the R&D..it'd be a bonanza for them

"I want my flying car AND my personal robot!" I'd be happy with a decent flat screen TV under 500.00, like was promased in my 1966 popular mechanic magazine.
