10 Things Flying Cars Are Killing In 5 Years

Today you can become a member of Blockchain.aero Community and get the Bartini flying cars or, better, the flight itself.

How will the flying cars (e-VTOLs) change the world in the nearest future?

10 things are on the verge of extinction.

I. REAL ESTATE

Property prices reflect proximity to places of importance to you.

The only thing to matter in the future — the beautiful view. Decentralize cities. Ruralism instead of urbanism.

II. STRESS

Hassle commute and traffic jams don’t chill.

Imagine there is no traffic. The only jams are marmalade and music.

III. AIR POLLUTION

Volvo announced that all of their cars from 2019 would be electric.

Air-taxis will be electric too. That will make the future cities cleaner and greener!

IV. HIGH ROAD COSTS

In some places, road construction is naturally expensive.

Other places, like the virgin forests of Amazon, must remain untouched.

Where we’re going, we won’t need roads.

V. FLATLAND THOUGHT

Human perception is transformed by the imagery we contemplate. We move flat, most of the time.

Watch top-down more often. 3D heights to your mind! “God-view mode” on!

VI. NON-USE VALUE

People do not need things — they need their functions. Owners of cars use only 3–6% of vehicles’ time and value.

Ridesharing increases the effectiveness of air-taxi fleets. The autopilot will make it even more affordable.

VII. HUMAN FACTOR

First flying cars will augment a trained pilot. But further, await the AI-powered and computer-vision driven vehicles.

Stats tell us that human error is involved in 80–95% of car accidents.

Autonomous air-commute will be safer.

VIII. SEDENTISM

High availability of urban and long-distance flights will cause more people to become nomads — digitally, locally and globally.

Move away from the familiar and approach the unusual. The speed of travel is the indicator of freedom.

IX. GDP LOSS

Hours and hours are wasted every day. They become days and weeks spent in traffic.

Multiply them by population, average pay, and you will get the annual loss to the world economy.

Let’s become productive!

X. VANITY FAIR

There is a small two-way street in the central Stockholm. Every weekend high profile individuals drive it slowly to show off their expensive muscle cars.

Who cares about public image while leaping overhead?

Just move from A to B!
