Let's fast forward and say that flying cars become ubiquitous. There will have to be "flying lanes", so that we don't crash into each other. Or am I wrong?
@LiberalLibrarian The only way flying cars happen is if you take human operators out of the equation. You've seen how people drive. No way do you add a third dimension to their inability to pay attention. Centralized control. So yes, there will be flying lanes. :)
@ianthealy Seriously, that's what I was assuming. Everything would have to be networked.
@ianthealy Was it written by Elon Musk? π

Sounds like Nolan
Logan's Run?

Hard agree about flying cars, and the same applies to self-driving. I will not tolerate robot cars around me. I will be ungovernable. Fair warning.

@b4cks4w @LiberalLibrarian I don't think so. It's probably a common theme though.
Wasn't the "insanity" of manual control one of the tropes in both the "I, Robot" movie, and "Minority Report." (I know it wasn't in the Asimov book, because they had people movers, but I've never read Minority Report).
@LiberalLibrarian I remember a book I read (don't recall which it was) where manual control of a car on public thoroughfares (flying or otherwise) was a felony.
