[I want the USA back]

Sure.

This stupid idea is not new, but it is as stupid now as it was when it first came out. (I saw it in a Popular Science mag when I was a kid.)

Dumber than “self” driving cars.

Autonomous ("self-driving") cars will be great as the technology matures. First and foremost, they will be far safer than conventional cars. Set your destination and relax. No more speeding, no more drunk or reckless driving, seamless lane changing, automated collision avoidance systems, etc. What's not to like? The computer's reaction time is better than yours. Get over it.

Flying cars? Not in the hands of human drivers. Within a week of deployment, they'll be flying through the windows of apartment buildings. And I'll bet they're noisy, which we will all regret as they crisscross the skies over our back yards. (Maybe this will be divine retribution for the cul-de-sac crowd.) They might be acceptable when they are flown by computers and stay within designated corridors, but not before.

24,000 miles a day of self driving:

Alphabet’s self-driving project, Waymo, has been testing its fully driverless minivans every day in Phoenix, Arizona, and so far the project appears to have been running fairly smoothly. People are flocking to the Waymo trial program, which enables them to hail these minivan taxis via their smartphone. “One year in, our early rider program and our extensive on-road testing is helping us build the world’s most experienced driver. In fact, our fleet of cars across the U.S. is now driving more than 24,000 miles daily; that’s the equivalent of an around the world road trip!” Waymo stated in a blog post last month.
