[Reality]

First video is keyed to start right at reveal and make sure you watch the launch (literal) part after ..



This is the full video from start ..

A flying car that can go from 0-60 in .81 seconds. Probably going to have a hard time getting it through regulatory approvals.

Yeah, that's not hitting the road .. or air above the road lol .. any time soon, but it's cool to see it actually created and working even if in a controlled environment.

Drunk and bad drivers are dangerous enough
Imagine them in flying cars?

 

[rags747]

Love it!

At this stage its probably more of a concept vehicle. We probably have another generation before we see that

Of course it was .. the impressive part was what it did though and why I shared it.

The demo was amazing, but realistically how is that going to be street legal

I think most people do not understand that the demo for the flying version was conceptual and likely will never be sold to anyone.

In other words, the flying version was all about the presentation experience.

I have not read the details, but my guess is they will be selling a non-flying version of the roadster in 2027-2028 and are hoping people will put down money to reserve the non-flying version.

To me it's not the car that was impressive, but simply the flying aspect of it as that's been talked about for decades as "the future".

The fact they created it, even in a heavily planned and controlled environment, and pulled it off flawlessly was the impressive part.

Yes I understand that, I believe the “Rocket” version is invite only. I can’t believe we are seeing this as a possibility now. Amazing times.

As Woody would say, "That's not flying. That's falling with style!"

It later flew though when it flew over the vehicles in one of the other demos.

When I said "most people" I meant people on the internet who are talking about .. which is what Tesla's marketing team wanted I'm sure.

Very cool. At first I thought it was an AI rendering. Freakin amazing.

Do you think they’ll allow a vehicle to take corners at 200mph street legal? I don’t think that would be a good idea knowing all the yahoo’s out there on the roads. But it would be cool to be the only one to have one! Cops couldn’t catch you unless they had the souped up version of the Tesla Roadster.

In 50 years, new drivers will need to get a pilot’s license

As automation and safety gets better and better in these cars I bet it happens quicker than we think. I was driving my tesla the other day and almost hit a dog that ran into the road. My car auto braked and came to a full stop before I ever even saw the dog.

As more cars on the road become more automated for safety I could see speed limits increase. It’s only a matter of time before the laws allow cops to just shut down your car instead of chasing you too.

We got flying cars before we got GTA 6

and then the hackers start to cause mass accidents...

In theory yes, but it doesn’t seem to be a likely scenario.

I’m not a big tech guy so I could be wrong but from my understanding it’s extremely tough to hack into these EVs and when people do it’s to do nickel and dime things like adjust the seats and window settings. Probably creates more of a theft concern than an accident concern.
