Here's the steps to this dance: 1. Flying car woo gets profiled in NYT 2. Everyone clicks because, hey, flying cars! 3. Investors throw money at "as featured in NYT" startups 4. $400B later, someone will demo 3 wingless "flying cars" on rails in a tunnelhttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/12/technology/flying-cars.html …

Sure, it comes down to two factors: (1) availability of permissible takeoff/landing zones (such that you can use this as a replacement for many Uber rides), and (2) operating costs, which must be much lower at scale than today’s helicopters. (Fuel costs certainly will be, fwiw.)

As an aside: I agree with your point about lack of funding for public infrastructure! I just don’t think it has to be a dichotomy.
