@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. :)
@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.

Sounds like Nolan
Logan's Run?
@ianthealy @LiberalLibrarian
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.
Uh, is this the book? Lawbreaker, aka Violation: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/258272/short-story-identification-young-man-driving-a-manually-controlled-car-gets-de
@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).
@ianthealy Was it written by Elon Musk? π
