Marty McFly and Dr. Brown saw plenty of things when they went Back to the Future into 2015. Most of which have now come out of the movie's sense of fiction and into reality. We've seen Nike's self lacing tennis shoes, hundreds of people rolling around on hoverboards, holograms, and drones. However, there was one part of the movie that has yet to become a reality. The one thing that can truly make the world a better place. Exponentially better. Although McFly and Brown rode around in a pimped out Delorean, that car has nothing on the flying cars.
Imagine a world where traffic is obsolete and you can get from point A to point B without having to go on Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, or any of the hundreds of variates. What would make the world a better place is making self-driving electricity-powered flying cars. With the development of technology such as remote sensing imagery, radar, and LIDAR, self-driving cars are now a reality. Electricity-powered cars are nothing new. Now we just need to get the flying part down. Magnets? Atom fission? Hydrogen powered lift engines? There are several ways to make this happen. Let's make it happen.
Hey Ian,
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of flying cars. Ever since I was young, I used to think I'll be able to buy a flying car by the time I get my license. I have seen many prototypes of the flying cars but still not on the market. I think a lot of it has to do with the current infrastructures. I believe that the technology for flying cars exists. It's just the roads and the traffic laws doesn't allow these cars to fly yet. I think we should start building different roads that can accommodate take off and landing of these cars. If lawmakers set the rules and regulations, we will be able to fly anytime we want, anywhere we want.
