Cool inventions for the future part 3

How is a flying car any different from an airplane?...

More personal I think...

If you an afford a flying car you could probably afford 20 personal airplanes

You assume flying car means that it has to be high off the ground. However by using magnets and super conductors cars can float inches of the ground. Reducing friction to almost 0 allowing us to go faster than ever before. By the time we find a super conductor we should have been able to make a mandatory auto pilot system similar to the gps. That solves the crashing problem. Also any kind of flying cars would have to come with more than needed flying devcies in order to prevent them falling in the case of failure. You would still use roads as somewhere to put the super conductor. Weather wouldnt be a problem as you dont touch the ground anymore. Also, I beleive the terminol velocity is below 200mph. You fail to recognize that there would be safety regulations and ways to stop what you say could happen. Yes there would still be fails but everything fails once in a while.

I see your point. But let me verify mine...
>Who would want to fly a car only a few inches off the ground?
>Where is your auto pilot when the battery dies/wing busts/blade breaks/engine dies/gas runs out?
>Super conductor? Isn't driving cars on the ground much easier?
>Thunderstorms result in lightening, which results in a broken flying car.
>I was exaggerating to prove a point.
>Safety regulations? Ha. There are "safety regulations" now, but you see people still go on high speed chases.
>Are you serious? There would be more crashes than a Windows 98 PC with trojans.

>Reduce Friction=Faster, besides driving a car dosent have to be "fun" its job is to get you from point A to point B
>Why wouldnt you fill up your car?
>Super conductor produce a powerful magnetic force, Driving cars in the air would have the same controls as you wouldnt control the up down motion
>Lightnin breaks a lot of things why specifically a car 5 inches off the ground?
>Exactly, so why is is safer if your not 5 inches up rather then on the ground? You are going faster but by the time we find super conductors im sure we would be able to have a harder metal or something els in case of a crash
>XD, Why would it cause more crashes? ITs the same things only it can go faster with less moving parts therefore less failures

>My opinion is that cars 5 inches off the ground is ridiculous. There's no difference in traffic, or anything in that matter, but the friction of the tires against the road.
>Cars break down all the time because people run out of gas, like having no gas stations around where you are, no money for gas, etc..
>Good point.
>I was talking about cars high in the air.
>Also a good point.
>Again, I was talking about unorganized free flying in the air.

You make lots of good points if the car was flying high in the air. If we ever get there I dont think they would be as available as normal cars as it would be extremely dangerous as you said.

>Cars using magnets would be able to go much faster. Ever been a on a launch rollercoaster? See how they go so fast in such a short amount of time? Most of them use magnets. Not in the same way though.

>I dont know what we could do about running out of fuel. The best thing we could do is to make the car automatically park on the shoulder when they have 1% fuel left or something along the lines of that. But it is a good point. A good idea would be to put the magnets in the ground and the super conductors in the ca but that would be much more work to create or modify roads.

so much text in this thread

Or you know, just don't use them and still use ground cars.
But really the 'non-retarded' reason is because we can't really control 3 dimensional traffic.

"o herp i guess i should say something about my post probably getting red thumbs since i have an opinion"

I'm so glad that there is finally an educated argument FJ

Please continue your beautiful OC.

with pleasure

LOL.
1) We had already had paved roads to begin with, tracing back to the Inca societies.
2) Even if we didn't have flat, hard, surfaces to drive on, we could just drive on the grass. It's not rocket science.
3) We had already had horse carriages, bicycles, and many other vehicles driving.
4) Trying to disprove cars:
"That would never work! How would you power them?"
Trying to disprove flying cars:
"That would never work! How would you achieve order in the sky without thousands of people being killed each day? What about all the time it would take for lessons? What about the cost in making them? What about the other modes of transportation, like planes, cars, bikes, subways, trains, or even boats? What about? What about?"
Moron.

I did.

GEZZUS?!?!!!!!!

Do want.

**kalimah rolls 70**

thumbed cause I enjoy unique ways of rolling dubs.

like...this?

I already have seven.

Can I have?

I think they have that, it's called "a camera"

I meant like people not able to see the camera

It's called "a small camera"

**ntyoyo rolls 568** I have so much stupidity

instead of the bodyguard, i would want his arms. that would be much cooler.

you... sound like an assassin, here's your blade that you requested

Grazie, signor. I am quite the assassin. Or so I try to be, at least. (that's my avatar, me in an assassin cloak. Well, it's meant to look like that anyway)

you do know that if you go to ubiworkshop.com they have assassin's creed hoodies and stuff for sale

<--- House wants those

i was thinking of envy also lol

i thought it was gonna say Rocket Sauce lol

ill post one in the next comp
