Will Cars Ever Fly?

With my recent experiences of riding on airplanes, I have been considering this idea: Will we ever have flying cars?

To this, I say NO. I had two of the flights within the last week either delayed or cancelled because of the terrible airline service (which shall remain anonymous) I was with as well as the weather. It gave me plenty of time to think about the idea presented in the 1989 movie Back to the Future Part II:

In this movie, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, along with Steven Spielberg and other producers, came up with the idea that in the year 2015, when Marty McFly visited the future(the film takes place in 1985), there would be all sorts of "futuristic" things like hover boards, ovens that cook pizza in like 3 seconds, doors that open with the touch of your fingerprint, and of course, cars that can fly.

I have always thought over the years, that there is no way we could ever reach this point by the year 2015, granted that it is now only 4 years away. I have always threatened the idea of suing the director when that year comes to prove his idea from over 20 years ago was incorrect. I had always hoped that we would have flying cars. False hope is what they created in my mind.

SO here are the reasons in reality why we will never have flying cars:

1. People in this world do not have enough common sense to deal with cars that fly. They will kill themselves. It is just like when Utah decided to allow the new fireworks to be used, and half of Utah about killed themselves on the fourth of July this year, because they do not know how to handle new ways of life like that.

2. We cannot afford it. Think about how we would have to fund schooling to teach people how to drive a flying car. The government would not be happy with adding that to the national budget.

3. Weather would not permit it. There would be too many problems with bad weather causing people to not be able to fly. Not to mention the lightning that could strike a car flying in the air.

4. When it comes to cars crashing in the sky, you would have people crashing, and then falling from the sky, making those sky crashes even worse.

5. The energy needed to make cars fly.. who knows what that would be? It will take scientists years to figure out the best way to power a car enough to make it fly through the air.

6. Two words: Trailer hitch. How could you make cars travel through the sky with a boat or a camper hooked to the back?

7. Motion sickness.

8. Boundaries. Are we going to create some sort of force field to keep cars in certain areas of the sky? I mean the sky has no limits.

9. Having so many cars flying through the air will ruin my view of the sky, especially during rush hour traffic. Not to mention the noise it will create in the sky.

10. Save the birds!

11. Oil leaking from the sky.. No bueno.

12. I hate to bring this one up, but it will definitely become a high risk for terrorist attacks as it will be easier to crash a car into buildings.

That is all for my list right now. I would keep going, but my father has just informed me that I am wasting my time typing about a silly topic. As I sleep tonight I am sure that I will come up with more ideas. I am open to any other ideas that you may have as well! Just remember, as much as Marty McFly and the Doc make flying look so great in BTTF Part II, it is much more complicated than you think..
