The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for April 08, 2022

No breeze from the flying car?

Did they park the flying cars up in the sky?

Cue the Jetsons music…

If we can’t drive safely in 2 dimensions, imagine adding a 3rd dimension.

There’s a good reason why we still drive on the ground even after years of imagining flying cars. And you thought bird droppings were a nuisance.

People should learn not to leave their dogs in hot cars.

‘Flying’ will be a given. Similar to ‘Digital’ being assumed for most things now. BTW-Written in 2022, but someday this comment will be twenty years ago as well.

I guess people haven’t heard that leaving an animal in a car can cause spontaneous window explosions. I’ve seen it happen a couple of times, dog in a hot car and BOOM! glass all over the parking lot. Sometimes two or three windows at once, and maybe even a mirror or two….

Star Trek (unfortunately) got it wrong. As technology increases, morality goes DOWN.

Oh yes there is..but let’s say the driver of the flying car is..human.. then….

Dog will have its head out the window, should not be a problem.

Old joke " Why can’t dogs go on the Space Shuttle?" Because there faces would burn off during re-entry"

I have seen how people drive in two dimensions. I have NO desire to see them in three.

Quick answer to Sakura’s question: No!

Technology has always outpaced humanity’s ability to avoid its misuse/abuse/weaponization.

Makes me think of Dizzyland’s Tomorrowland in the 50s and early 60s. Great forecasting technological change but completely ignorant of any social changes.

The cars might fly but humans will still be stupid and thoughtless.
