Barriers Facing Flying Cars

There are a lot of barriers of having flying cars. And below, I have listed some of them:


-Most flying cars never get off the page, let alone the ground. The few that do are bedeviled by lack of funding, impracticality, limited appeal or fears they may simply break apart in flight as some have.

- Fully automated navigation systems: The average person has a difficult time navigating on a two dimensional surface. The flying car industry will not be able to get off the ground without an onboard navigator that handles the driving. Of course people will want the freedom of being able to do some creative maneuvering in certain situations, but that will only be allowed in rare instances.

- Low-impact vertical take-off: When used by average person, flying cars cannot have a runway requirement. They need to take off and land vertically without blowing the leaves off of trees or shutters off windows.

- Convenient fly-drive capability: As humanity makes the transition from ground-based autos to flying cars there will be a need for both driving on the ground and flying in the air.

- Silent engines: Because there are no significant acoustical barriers in the air, the engines on flying cars will need to be virtually silent. Very few cities will want to put up with the noise of thousands of flying vehicles if they all sound like airplanes today.

-and lastly, Specialized safety systems: To date both aircraft and airspace have been closely controlled by organizations like the FAA and the NTSB to insure the safety of the flying public. Because of the sheer volume of vehicles being navigated by average drivers, additional safety measures will need to be in place. Required safety featured will include such things as collision avoidance systems and drop-out-of-the-sky emergency airbags on the outside of the vehicles.

There are a lot of requrement that we should take care when having this kind of cars. They are too costly. What will happen for poor people in the future? Nowadays, they afford to buy a car, but in the future I don’t think so.
