Sigma Flying car
« on: Yesterday at 11:06:24 AM »
Sigma flying Car
          cruise 220
          max 290
          range 510
If the numbers are true, it seems like a nightmare about to unfold. I can't imagine this being done without a pilot's license. Sure, don't want my neighbor transitioning from 220mph to landing on his driveway under special vfr conditions next door.
 Looks like a low time pilot killer to me.

I wouldn't trust the public with flying cars even if they were slower than blimps.

By the time they are affordable enough for the everyman AI will be at the controls.

video with rendered graphics, one "in flight" looking like it was taken in an ultralight. Looks like someone is fishing for some investment money on glossy promisses. But it does have AI in name as it's all good.

Amazon, Walmart and other delivery drones should be interesting enough when the service becomes popular if not profitable..

Not sure that's an improvement...

Not the first time someone has tried this. Most turned out to be lousy cars and worse airplanes. Likely to be an accident looking for a place to happen.
Being male, an accident of birth. Being a man, a matter of age. Being a gentleman, a matter of choice.

Of course your terrorist who has come over.... uninvited, will mount guns or gas and drop on crowds. Just another tool.
