leXX Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 The thought of people flying around in cars in the future scares me. It's bad enough on the roads, without half of these maniacs in the air. :/

edlib Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Recovering from accidents will be one a hell of a bitch, though.
MrWally Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I doubt they'd allow it on the streets, though. You'd probably still have to take off and land at airports, which defeats the purpose.
DarthAve Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I'm daunted. I've still yet to learn how to drive on land, much less in the air.
MrWally Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I've actually wondered about that. I'm sure that when cars were becoming more and more popular there was great opposition--people probably thought it was unrealistic, incredibly dangerous, and too difficult to be used on a mass level, yet clearly the transition worked out in the end. Maybe I'm wrong, though.
RoxStar Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/92384 Late to the party but great article and better reference!
IG-64 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Hmm, I'm gonna put my money on the Moller Skycar. Simply because I heard of it years ago, and it seems to be making a name for itself. You don't need a runway, and it basically flies itself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moller_Skycar_M400 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElS9BKSsezw I guess any flying car would be nice though. Plus I don't know how well I trust computers flying me around everywhere...
Darth Avlectus Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Aw HELL yeah! THAT would kick ass! This tread is FULL OFEPIC WIN! I'd love it! Back to the future, HERE WE COME! Pretty soon we'll also have speeders and stuff like in the SW movies, too! Could I kill myself on it? Yeah, but what is life without a little excitement? Danger and threat of death. Kind of turns me on actually. A certain high. Groovy, You rule, baby!
RoxStar Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Aw HELL yeah! THAT would kick ass! This tread is FULL OFEPIC WIN! 4Chan =/= Lucasforums.
MrWally Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Quoted to emphasise the emphasis. QTETEFE Ah, what the hell. Just be careful of throwing around 4chan memes in The Swamp. Besides windu6's colorful text, that probably annoys those older folks the most.
Pie™ Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 The only reason I come to the swamp anymore is this elitist circle of decent people that has manifested. I can't stand the non-regulars.
BongoBob Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Heh... windu6. What ever happened to that guy??? You used both correct spelling and punctuation. You did it wrong. Also, you gotta be attacking someone of actual inteligence while doing so.
MrWally Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Heh... windu6. What ever happened to that guy??? Great call on the patriotism of "guy" though. That's perfectly fitting.
Samnmax221 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Flying cars aren't going to catch on as they're not affordable enough, and the general public is too retarded to be able to fly them.
MrWally Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I'm pretty sure they said the same thing about regular cars.
Samnmax221 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 People "are" almost too stupid to drive regular cars. They don't drive for the conditions, and they're completely oblivious to the world around them. I'm sure you can remember the last time someone was texting while driving, plowed into a cement wall, and turned the car into a bowl of scrambled teenagers. Flying is more complex than driving, like driving you can only dumb it down so much, and for most people its simply not enough. As it is I'm scared enough that teenage girls are allowed to have cars, I don't want to have be afraid that some dumb bitch is going to dive-bomb me when I least expect it, because she was too busy whoring up her face to pay attention to what she was doing.
Tyrion Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 The only reason I come to the swamp anymore is this elitist circle of decent people that has manifested. I can't stand the non-regulars. We're witty, sure, but I wouldn't call us "decent people." MrWally eats fresh babies in order to maintain his unnatural level of talent; Dath is the perpetrator behind every murder ever committed; and I bitterly deride and establish cruel lies about everyone here in order to inflate my own pathetic ego.
