The Jetsons takes place in 2062. George Jetson was born in 2022. Flying cars are coming soon!

This is the kind of optimism I like! Flying cars would be so rad.

They’ll never happen. Not with the public walking underneath anywhere that traffic goes to, such as schools, retail, churches and everything else. The possibility of crashes/failures happening and now you have vehicles plummeting to the earth will cause no flying cars. Nobody would insure anything.

They’ll never happen. Not with the public walking adjacent to anywhere that traffic goes to, such as sidewalks in front of schools, sidewalks in front of retail, sidewalks in front of churches and everything else. The possibility of crashes/failures happening and now you have vehicles crashing into sidewalks will cause no cars. Nobody would insure anything.
