So this article just popped up on my guardian feed…wild stuff. I’m not a fan of Musk but you gotta admit this is pretty interesting.

“I’m not sure it’s necessarily legal in all jurisdictions,” Musk said, adding that the prototype was “not necessarily a safety optimised car but it takes the fun meter to 11”.

There have been more than 1 working flying car prototypes in the past so it's actually not the first one. The problem with a flying car isn't even getting a car to fly; it's how you're going to regulate it for safety when everyone has one.

    Yah agreed. Headline is over the top ridiculous. Florida is already working on vtol taxis, yes i know not the same, but discussions with the faa on how to regulate vtol and then have it apply to cars “could” happen. Who knows honestly, this administration is all about moving fast and breaking things.

    Skip the traffic with eVTOL flights connecting Palm Beach International Airport(PBI) to West Palm Beach city center. Experience the future of airport transfers with air taxi service.
