never seen a cautionary tale like this one.

This is every major problem with a flying car, and the final post sums it up perfectly: You don't want a flying car, because then OTHER PEOPLE WILL HAVE ONE AND I PROMISE THAT SUCKS.
I've been seeing a new round of hype for flying cars.
As a professional wet blanket, it is my displeasure to say that no, you are not getting a flying car. Also, you don't want one.🧵

Eliminating the independent bipartisan @cpsc.gov is a terrible idea. It would leave families at greater risk in their own homes. It would take critical data-driven safety rules (many protecting kids) & expose them to political whims. @consumerreports.org advocacy.consumerreports.org/press_releas...
