Why the fuck are flying cars being put down now? I mean yeah smart phones and the internet are goddamn amazing if you put any thought into what they mean at all, but what exactly is wrong with thinking about faster travel? Especially if you have friends/loved ones that live far away.
Faster travel means teleporters
I am totally okay with teleporters
I am not okay with teleporters.
The idea of completely deconstructing/destroying yourself and then rebuilding yourself is not one I enjoy.

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Flying cars are stupid and you are stupid for thinking it's 'the future'
People have tiny handheld devices that let them communicate with anyone in the world through a simple to use service and can share photos, videos, voice recordings and other information in seconds.
Fuck you and your silly idea of 'the future.'
Smart Hero, making serious posts.
You are cramping my style.
But seriously flying cars is cool.
Do you really believe the general populace is capable of operating a vehicle that includes an additional dimension of movement.
The only way flying cars will ever be a reality is if they are controlled by an autopilot.
Do people ever realize just how complicated driving a car is and how quickly a human adapts to doing it? Yes, yes I do believe the general populace is capable of operating a vehicle with an additional dimension of movement especially if roads and driving laws are adapted for flying as well as they are for regular driving.
Roads and road laws are incredibly complex and do an astonishingly good job, overall, of keeping people from getting fucking killed every single day. And people take that for granted constantly. Of course we'll see accidents and all sorts of damage, but not by any substantially higher amount if they take the same level of care and safety into the design of the laws and cars themselves as they do now.
But cars are more or less restricted to the roads they operate on.
This just in, flying car crashes into orphaned kitten factory.

This would be awesome because we would end up with laws that prohibited against the discrimination of people with differing understandings of physics.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

Google's self-driven cars are incredible and have been on the roads for at least a month or two.
That shit is mind-blowingly cool.
The idea of ground-vehicles that create an optimum distance and speed between each vehicle and seamlessly merge into 'traffic' are gonna be way more efficient than flying cars, because they utilize the existing road infrastructure

Uh, in theory based on how we understand them now, they would have to deconstruct you piece by piece and then reconstruct you on the other side. That's assuming we use the same matter in the process.
Other concepts involve creating an exact clone of yourself in the other place while leaving your existing clone with a heart condition that makes you die in your sleep during the night.
How the hell do you think teleportation was supposed to work? Magic?

I have no idea how one would work outside of science fiction, which is why I didn't posit how they would, unlike some teleporter experts I could name.

Teleporters create a copy of you with the same point of the stream of consciousness that you had prior to you entering the teleporter. It's the philosophical equivalent of you dying and having your exact physical/mental clone go on and live your life.

That is correct, we drive on the left side of the road, not the right side.
I AM PRETTY SURE IT WAS SOMETHING YOU DID.
GO TO YOUR ROOM.
But cars are more or less restricted to the roads they operate on.

You can tell if it isn't you from the mustache and or goatee.
because it's the proper one.
What if every time you teleport you're killing yourself and creating a clone on the other end

It really needs work in the states.

Well, the Romans drove on the left-hand side, keeping the tradition alive!
they don't kill you
they transport you to a different receptacle

so that's two things the british have in common with the romans.
the first being a former empire. :smugface:
They also had sex with young boys and puked up their food.
So you guys are 1/2 way there with your bad food thing.
