Popular Science's predictions were only off by about fifteen years, if this actually occurs.

I'm sure the fine, rational people at DHS, TSA, FAA, and Arby's totally won't overreact and clamp down on this little venture.  "What, what, what?!  The serfs to move about unfettered?  This will not do!"

Road Rage will take on a whole new meaning after the first dogfight.

My road rage would disappear if I could use one of these babies. No more slow morons holding up the passing lane!

And if it can indeed fly itself...that's a wow. Would love nothing more than to input a destination then sit back and relax. I doubt that would happen, but one can dream.

Lots of potential here for terrorists or an upset citizens in flying cars.

Maybe stop to think that weight in flight is a big issue. Therefore terrorists can do far more damage with a vehicle on the ground. Tons vs lbs.

Thinking ahead. Good. I will paint mine up as the Red Baron.
