"content": "\u003cp>In the 1950s, when America was hopeful and reckless conjecture was encouraged, prognosticators had some wild ideas about 21st century technology. A few came true, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.ald.softbankrobotics.com/en/cool-robots/pepper\">robot companions\u003c/a>. Most didn't, like \u003ca href=\"http://signsfromthenearfuture.tumblr.com/image/157825581640\">lunar shuttles\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one concept in particular has endured without quite being realized -- the flying car. Check those special \"future\" editions of \u003ca href=\"http://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/g462/future-that-never-was-next-gen-tech-concepts/\">old magazines\u003c/a> and you'll find plenty of stalwart citizens commuting to work in hovering sedans, with tail fins. So where did the dream go wrong?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, you may have noticed that flying cars have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/24/technology/flying-car-technology.html\">buzzing the headlines\u003c/a> this week, with new \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMma4c2SPdY\">prototype footage\u003c/a> making the rounds and Uber's \u003ca href=\"https://www.uber.com/info/elevate/summit/\">flying car tech summit\u003c/a> in Texas. The timing seems right for a reappraisal of our retro-future dreams. The good news is that flying cars are no longer science fiction -- in fact, several designs are already in the air. The bad news is that you won't be flying one anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the good news. Depending on how you define your terms, flying cars have been around for several years now. Straightforward hybrids like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.terrafugia.com/the-transition/\">Terrafugia Transition\u003c/a> are basically cars with folding wings -- keep 'em folded up when you're driving around; drop 'em down when you hit the runway. Of course, these vehicles are essentially private planes -- you'll need a pilot's license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11426672\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11426672\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/transition-e8e204780be4b9a1734b739eb413dfbcbd7ec2e6-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Terrafugia Transition extends its fold-up wings when it hits the runway.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/transition-e8e204780be4b9a1734b739eb413dfbcbd7ec2e6-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/transition-e8e204780be4b9a1734b739eb413dfbcbd7ec2e6-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/transition-e8e204780be4b9a1734b739eb413dfbcbd7ec2e6-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/transition-e8e204780be4b9a1734b739eb413dfbcbd7ec2e6-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/transition-e8e204780be4b9a1734b739eb413dfbcbd7ec2e6-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/transition-e8e204780be4b9a1734b739eb413dfbcbd7ec2e6.jpg 958w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Terrafugia Transition extends its fold-up wings when it hits the runway. \u003ccite>(Terrfugia)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Then there are the rotor-driven aerial vehicles that function like miniaturized helicopters or maximized drones. Click around online and you can find several projects in this area, from high-tech specimens like the newly unveiled \u003ca href=\"https://kittyhawk.aero/about/\">Kitty Hawk\u003c/a> (backed by Google's Larry Page) to old-school da Vinci-style \u003ca href=\"http://www.aerovelo.com/ornithopter-summary\">pedal-powered ornithopters\u003c/a>.

That's what Uber is aiming for with its new \u003ca href=\"https://www.uber.com/elevate.pdf\">Elevate initiative\u003c/a>, which imagines a future of semi-autonomous flying vehicles that can be hailed from designated rooftops and helipads around the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Holden, Uber chief product officer, described a future service, tentatively called Uber Air. \"You literally push a button and you get a flight,\" he said at the company's Elevate Summit in Dallas on Tuesday. A car trip between San Francisco and San Jose can take up to 2½ hours, depending on traffic, and \"this is like a 15-minute flight,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is giving you freedom, radically reducing time from point A to point B,\" Holden said. Uber hopes to launch working prototypes by 2020 and to eventually reduce the cost so that it's comparable to an UberX ride, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11426674\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 447px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11426674\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/uber-650bbf4dbd9ca95f9a6ce4797a13384b8f7f690d.jpg\" alt=\"Uber is planning to expand its transportation services skyward with the Elevate program.\" width=\"447\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/uber-650bbf4dbd9ca95f9a6ce4797a13384b8f7f690d.jpg 447w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/uber-650bbf4dbd9ca95f9a6ce4797a13384b8f7f690d-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/uber-650bbf4dbd9ca95f9a6ce4797a13384b8f7f690d-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/uber-650bbf4dbd9ca95f9a6ce4797a13384b8f7f690d-375x281.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Uber is planning to expand its transportation services skyward with the Elevate program. \u003ccite>(Uber)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Uber's \"taxi planes\" would initially use a combination of human pilots and automation, and could eventually move to a fully artificial intelligence-controlled flight network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that seems crazy, consider that the city of Dubai has already announced it will deploy a fleet of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Q2W0r5e-s\">air taxis\u003c/a> this summer, using the Chinese \u003ca href=\"http://www.ehang.com/ehang184\">EHang 184\u003c/a> passenger drone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber is not the only heavy hitter moving into this area.

Both systems envision a future of fully electric flying taxis and buses, to cut down on weight, noise and pollution. In fact, almost all of the recent flying car proposals are banking on batteries, with the exception of those \u003ca href=\"http://www.aerovelo.com/atlas-helicopter\">pedal-powered contraptions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recent issue of Airbus' \u003ca href=\"http://www.airbusgroup.com/int/en/news-media/corporate-magazine/Forum-88/My-Kind-Of-Flyover.html\">corporate magazine\u003c/a>, CEO Tom Enders said he fully expects to have a sky full of flying coaches and cabs over major cities: \"In a not-too-distant future, we'll use our smartphones to book a fully automated flying taxi that will land outside our front door -- without any pilot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Different Point of View\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It all seems very exciting and imminent, but obviously some enormous obstacles remain -- true autonomous vehicle technology and air traffic control, to name two. Adding millions of flying cars and taxis to the existing airspace would require a colossal reboot of air traffic control systems, most likely managed by some kind of future artificial intelligence. The more you think it through, the more daunting it all becomes. If you'd rather keep the 1950s dream alive in your mind, stop reading now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aviation consultant \u003ca href=\"http://www.richardaboulafia.com/\">Richard Aboulafia\u003c/a> is squarely among the skeptics. As a veteran industry analyst, Aboulafia makes his living assessing nuts-and-bolt realities, not concept drawings. When it comes to hybrid vehicles that can drive on roads and fly in the air, there's a core design dilemma, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11426670\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11426670\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Airbus is one of more than a dozen companies actively developing flying cars.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91.jpg 915w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Airbus is one of more than a dozen companies actively developing flying cars. \u003ccite>(Airbus)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"You know, I'd like to have a good product that combines shampoo and conditioner in one bottle, but you can't do it,\" he says. \"And it's the same here with flying cars -- you have a perfectly inadequate plane crossed with a perfectly inadequate car. You've got two very different animals here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for those fleets of ski taxis and autonomous flying vehicles being proposed by Uber, Airbus and others, Aboulafia sees another mountain of practical problems: \"More issues than I can count, really.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aboulafia says the first thing that jumped out at him in Uber's Elevate \u003ca href=\"http://www.uber.com/elevate/whitepaper/\">white paper\u003c/a> is an old industry dilemma: Electric vehicles have a fundamental battery problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The biggest issue with the Elevate manifesto is that it assumes the existence of a truly amazing battery with a phenomenal energy density,\" he says. \"We've been striving for this for the last century. You'd need the kind of reliability that puts you in the air and keeps you there safely. This isn't a Tesla -- you can't just pull over to the side of the road.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5wMFtawn7I\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The self-piloting aspect has him worried as well. With flying cars, after all, we're adding an entire extra dimension to problems we have yet to solve in 2-D.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we have a safe self-driving car, we'll be part of the way there,\" Aboulafia says. \"But we'll need some dramatic improvements in sense-and-avoid technology, to be able to track everything in all directions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there are the maintenance issues. \"Aircraft have a lot of moving parts, you know,\" Aboulafia says. \"And aircraft maintenance is a lot more expensive than car maintenance -- ask any pilot. If nothing else, we'd need a total maintenance revolution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So is there any hope? Is our cherished 1950s vision of flying cars just an impossible sci-fi dream? Well, Aboulafia doesn't want to be a total bummer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It could be that one day we have this amazing confluence of unlimited and safe battery power, combined with truly autonomous capabilities, where the machine is truly flying itself,\" Aboulafia said. \"All of that may trigger some kind of intra-urban mobility revolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But that's many, many decades away -- if ever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.glenn-mcdonald.com/\">Glenn McDonald\u003c/a> \u003cem>is a freelance writer, editor and game designer based in Chapel Hill, N.C.

A few came true, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.ald.softbankrobotics.com/en/cool-robots/pepper\">robot companions\u003c/a>. Most didn't, like \u003ca href=\"http://signsfromthenearfuture.tumblr.com/image/157825581640\">lunar shuttles\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one concept in particular has endured without quite being realized -- the flying car.

The timing seems right for a reappraisal of our retro-future dreams. The good news is that flying cars are no longer science fiction -- in fact, several designs are already in the air. The bad news is that you won't be flying one anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the good news. Depending on how you define your terms, flying cars have been around for several years now. Straightforward hybrids like the \u003ca href=\"http://www.terrafugia.com/the-transition/\">Terrafugia Transition\u003c/a> are basically cars with folding wings -- keep 'em folded up when you're driving around; drop 'em down when you hit the runway.

Uber hopes to launch working prototypes by 2020 and to eventually reduce the cost so that it's comparable to an UberX ride, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11426674\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 447px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11426674\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/uber-650bbf4dbd9ca95f9a6ce4797a13384b8f7f690d.jpg\" alt=\"Uber is planning to expand its transportation services skyward with the Elevate program.\" width=\"447\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/uber-650bbf4dbd9ca95f9a6ce4797a13384b8f7f690d.jpg 447w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/uber-650bbf4dbd9ca95f9a6ce4797a13384b8f7f690d-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/uber-650bbf4dbd9ca95f9a6ce4797a13384b8f7f690d-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/uber-650bbf4dbd9ca95f9a6ce4797a13384b8f7f690d-375x281.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 447px) 100vw, 447px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Uber is planning to expand its transportation services skyward with the Elevate program. \u003ccite>(Uber)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Uber's \"taxi planes\" would initially use a combination of human pilots and automation, and could eventually move to a fully artificial intelligence-controlled flight network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that seems crazy, consider that the city of Dubai has already announced it will deploy a fleet of \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5Q2W0r5e-s\">air taxis\u003c/a> this summer, using the Chinese \u003ca href=\"http://www.ehang.com/ehang184\">EHang 184\u003c/a> passenger drone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber is not the only heavy hitter moving into this area.

Both systems envision a future of fully electric flying taxis and buses, to cut down on weight, noise and pollution. In fact, almost all of the recent flying car proposals are banking on batteries, with the exception of those \u003ca href=\"http://www.aerovelo.com/atlas-helicopter\">pedal-powered contraptions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recent issue of Airbus' \u003ca href=\"http://www.airbusgroup.com/int/en/news-media/corporate-magazine/Forum-88/My-Kind-Of-Flyover.html\">corporate magazine\u003c/a>, CEO Tom Enders said he fully expects to have a sky full of flying coaches and cabs over major cities: \"In a not-too-distant future, we'll use our smartphones to book a fully automated flying taxi that will land outside our front door -- without any pilot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Different Point of View\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It all seems very exciting and imminent, but obviously some enormous obstacles remain -- true autonomous vehicle technology and air traffic control, to name two. Adding millions of flying cars and taxis to the existing airspace would require a colossal reboot of air traffic control systems, most likely managed by some kind of future artificial intelligence. The more you think it through, the more daunting it all becomes. If you'd rather keep the 1950s dream alive in your mind, stop reading now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aviation consultant \u003ca href=\"http://www.richardaboulafia.com/\">Richard Aboulafia\u003c/a> is squarely among the skeptics. As a veteran industry analyst, Aboulafia makes his living assessing nuts-and-bolt realities, not concept drawings. When it comes to hybrid vehicles that can drive on roads and fly in the air, there's a core design dilemma, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11426670\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11426670\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Airbus is one of more than a dozen companies actively developing flying cars.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/airbus-flying-car-d781b22144f8ac071029ba51fadefe48e3980d91.jpg 915w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Airbus is one of more than a dozen companies actively developing flying cars. \u003ccite>(Airbus)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"You know, I'd like to have a good product that combines shampoo and conditioner in one bottle, but you can't do it,\" he says. \"And it's the same here with flying cars -- you have a perfectly inadequate plane crossed with a perfectly inadequate car.

With flying cars, after all, we're adding an entire extra dimension to problems we have yet to solve in 2-D.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we have a safe self-driving car, we'll be part of the way there,\" Aboulafia says. \"But we'll need some dramatic improvements in sense-and-avoid technology, to be able to track everything in all directions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there are the maintenance issues. \"Aircraft have a lot of moving parts, you know,\" Aboulafia says. \"And aircraft maintenance is a lot more expensive than car maintenance -- ask any pilot. If nothing else, we'd need a total maintenance revolution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So is there any hope? Is our cherished 1950s vision of flying cars just an impossible sci-fi dream? Well, Aboulafia doesn't want to be a total bummer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It could be that one day we have this amazing confluence of unlimited and safe battery power, combined with truly autonomous capabilities, where the machine is truly flying itself,\" Aboulafia said. \"All of that may trigger some kind of intra-urban mobility revolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But that's many, many decades away -- if ever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
