Flying cars sound like freedom until someone has to organise the traffic. If the Jetsons future still appeals, this argument offers a practical test: imagine an ordinary driving mistake with gravity waiting underneath.

The excitement begins with a video, but what does it actually prove? Between a manoeuvre described as flipping and the suspicion that it looks AI-generated, the promised breakthrough faces questions before anyone even considers a preorder. A disastrous earlier experiment adds another reason to look beyond the spectacle.

Self-driving technology offers a different possibility. Shane recounts a car reacting when another driver cuts it off, opening an argument about vehicles communicating with one another. Could the dream work better without a human making every decision, or is that another future we’re still waiting for?
