sol740 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 People can't drive for shit following a predetermined course. Hopefully flying autos will act as eugenics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Still its gonna take a very advanced error checking and navigation computer to get 99.9% of the population capable of flying a vehicle without dying at least once:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I believe Dr. Emmett Brown was actually the first with a flying car. Invented back in 1985 or maybe it was 2015. He converted a Delorean to a flying car. In addition to being the first with a flying car Dr. Brown (also known as "Doc") was said to be a pioneer for the electric car. Using a nuclear source (plutonium) to generate 1.21 "gigawatts" of electricity. There is said to be video of the car from 1985 taken in the Sears parking lot of the Twin Pines Mall, in Hill Valley California. However since plutonium was not readily available “Doc” had to steel it from Libyan Terrorists. Although the electricity didn’t directly power the car it did help pave the way. Many said that the electric car would never work based on the danger of needing a nuclear source . Not one to give up, “Doc” found the answer to his problem in 2015 in the form of The Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor. The Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor converts household waste to power, that power allows the DeLorean to generate the required 1.21 gigawatts needed to travel. So you see kids…Flying cars have been around for at least 24 or maybe they won’t exist for another 6 years….I don’t fucking know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
