It’s why I’m torn on the flying car that keeps getting resurrected because some dimwit with too much money will die in a crash but so will a bunch of other nonrich people
You ever seen a video of some old person mixing up the brakes with the gas and slamming into a building? Imagine that, but now it's cruise missile grandma coming in with a Buick from 5,000 ft.
No thank you, I will keep my cars on the ground, please.
I've seen this in person lol. Old guy was in a parking spot in a ram 2500 (big amerikkkan truck) and slammed on the gas, spinning the tires pushing against a handicap parking post. Everyone in the parking lot was getting the hell away from the truck
Dodge Ram 2500 owners represent more than double the national average rate of DUIs among all cars in the US:

A relative got in a collision with a drunk driver with the same model of truck, it's real lol. Driven by assholes and of course it's ridiculously oversized too
I think the guy in the parking lot was just old and not competent to drive
A more low-intensity version of this is when my friend and I were so hungry to eat the teriyaki we'd just got that he accidentally put it in drive, bending the metal spot post fully through the cinder block wall, where it remains to this day.
Having lived in various parts of FL most my life, old people driving into storefronts and canals is at least a weekly local news story. Just yesterday my wife said there was an elderly woman driving the wrong way in roundabout.
I doubt non-rich people will be able to get a personal flying car anytime before post-scarcity, so it'll be a guilt-free crab-party when one goes down.

Imagine hearing your friend died because a drunk driver flew into his 4th floor apartment.
The flying car is the worst transportation idea that won't go away.
