nothing says the future like neon
00:06
covered skyscrapers stretching up to the
00:08
sky space travel and cars that fly or
00:11
hover
00:12
and while skyscrapers keep getting
00:14
higher and the world's eccentric
00:15
billionaires are fully on their way to
00:17
colonizing pluto the only thing we may
00:19
never have at least in our lifetime as
00:21
dreams fulfilled from our futuristic
00:23
wish list is cars whizzing around up in
00:26
the wild blue yonder
00:28
as much as we love to believe we can
00:29
eventually mirror the flying vehicles we
00:31
see on the big screen and sci-fi
00:33
franchises like star wars and star trek
00:36
most of these fictional cars rely on
00:37
technology that's far too impractical to
00:40
ever be viable in reality
00:42
let's look to the hovercraft for an
00:44
example hovercrafts require a ton of
00:46
energy and they're notoriously difficult
00:48
to control on land the closest anyone
00:51
came was the avro car a military project
00:53
that was canceled because the prototype
00:55
couldn't be safely flown more than a few
00:57
feet from the ground but here's the
00:59
number one reason why humans will never
01:01
enjoy a sunset flight in a subaru we're
01:04
not responsible for this kind of thing
01:06
the faa currently requires 60 hours of
01:09
flight time under an instructor before
01:11
even being qualified to take a final
01:13
flight test
01:14
on top of that there have been close to
01:16
140 000 automobile related fatalities
01:19
from 2016 to 2019 and 29 of them were
01:23
alcohol related now imagine that in the
01:25
sky with even greater speeds and on land
01:27
don't get us wrong we enjoy a bleak
01:30
cyberpunk dystopia filled with sleep
01:31
flying cars as much as the next nerd but
01:34
this piece of sci-fi is going to be
01:35
staying in our dreams for a long long
01:37
time

hi i'm c.k kimble with the tundra

Nothing says “The Future” like neon-covered skyscrapers stretching up into the sky, regular and safe space travel, and cars that fly or hover. And, while skyscrapers keep getting higher, and the world’s overcompensating, eccentric billionaires are fully on their way to colonizing Pluto, the only thing we’ll likely never have from the futuristic checklist is cars whizzing about in the sky.
