I vote ‘no’ to flying cars. Mainly because the rolling variety are dangerous enough in the wrong hands without compounding it with flying. Flying buses are safer than rolling cars when highly trained professionals are piloting them. But the accidents can be horrific.
In my mis-spent youth in the’60s building one car out of two (or even three} was common. I did it with the old 3-cylinder SAABs.
I discovered on a business trip to San Diego in the ‘80s that there were dozens of junkyards from Chula Vista to the border. It was explained to me that they would bring wrecks down from Los Angeles wholesale, build as many cars as they could freom the parts, then send them to Mexico for upholstery. The scrap steel was also sold over the border to mini-mills in Mexico. The good cars would be taken back up to Los Angeles, the rest would be sold into Mexico.
I read a story today about the car plants shutting down due to the chip shortage. What surprised me was they said that new car costs are 40% higher because of the electronics !
