Trump has referenced both at least once with little else being said about either. That I've heard anyway and I don't keep up that much.

But maybe a month or a little more ago I was watching a podcast that brought up self driving cars and that they were more or less to swing people into flying cars. Pointing out that automation would be needed. Which kind of made sense, I mean look at the roads, road rage etc, the skies would be a mess.

So what popped this podcast back into mind yesterday? I work at an auto auction and we handle Tesla storage cars, trade ins, off lease I'm guessing, not new cars. Any who, I'm the one that keeps them at/above a 25% so I drive em around the lot several times a week.

I don't pay attention to the models, not really a Tesla fan but they are fun to drive at work and have tremendous acceleration, but some have regular circular steering wheels, others have what I think I've heard called a "Bat Wing" steering wheel.

So yesterday I was driving one back to storage area with a bat wing (airplane yoke?), and I was like damn, I'm sitting in a futuristic cockpit! The screen generates your surroundings, and it certainly seemed if they were trying to ease people into self driving flying cars, this could be a way.

So I'm curious to see what thoughts or theories others here may have around this. If any.

I myself am fine on terra firma with gas IC engines, but if these flying cars ever come to be and they have a manual override, I'd certainly be up there giving one a whirl!
