Does anything symbolize the promise of the future like flying cars? From Star Wars to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, from The Jetsons to James Bond, flying cars have captured our imagination, but failed to translate into any sort of reality. Will flying cars ever be safe and practical enough to happen? How would they work? Flying cars always seem right around the corner, but can advancements in battery tech and autopilot modes actually get us there? That’s today… or tomorrow… or maybe never… on Past Gas.

I actually got chills listening to this intro you are awesome Nolen
Wright Brothers from North Carolina? Try Dayton, Ohio on for size, boys.
Props to the writer. That intro was so well-written.
If it's not floating with weird future hover jets or magnets or somethin, I don't want it
That burrito weight loss thing was funny…. I was dozing off n woke up laughing my ass off.
you guys havent done enough research for this episode. Flying taxis from Ehang have been in service in china for over a year now. they are starting their European service this year.
Guys, it's like you're talking about me! In addition to being my own (ex-)pilot friend, my life experiences also include having met my wife via Internet dating, as well as having spent a couple of years in a lab sequencing genes! How freakin weird is that?
Unless it hovers, and is able to be maneuvered like a car on ground, it’s just an airplane.
Wait…did James just reference Flogging Molly? "The albatross hanging 'round my neck"? If so fuck yeah!
I think it would work if we drove and set the destination and time in the cars on board computer like it's Google map or waze. Drive to the designated take off point. Let the car fly itself like a Tesla (once they get autopilot under control) under plane lanes so we don't interfere with planes. Other than that I'm against people flying cars. 90% of Tennessee (where I live anyway) can't drive.
