I’m not an engineer, but if they are that light, wouldn’t they be strongly affected by the wind?
Also they would still be crash hazard, so probably would be banned above human settlements and infrastructure, which doesn’t leave a lot of places where they can traverse and take off / land.
A few years ago Adam Something made a video about flying cars - it was in the context of the currently available technology, but imho some of his concerns would still be valid.
They would be light, but have a high mass, so not as jerky as a balloon.
I get that there are a lot of theoretical problems with flying cars, and current technology is sufficient for improving society if we just make different choices. I’ve seen Adam Something video, I just think we shouldn’t stop dreaming about something that has inspired utopian visions for generations. It can be easy to grow sour on the entire idea of innovation after people like elongated muskrat use it to hype up their stock prices and fail to deliver. But innovation can be great, and better futures start by daydreaming.
