Absolutely people!! Teleportation!! Solves our oil problems & our traffic problems. Not to mention we can now leave our house in 3.43 milliseconds and still be to work on time... SSWWWEEETTTT!
There is no way on earth that average people should be allowed to fly themselves anywhere. Flying is *significantly* more complicated than driving--and look how many car accidents we have already. If they want to create low-altitude flying cars, they will have to be fully automated so that the computers can handle attitude adjustment, levelling, avoidance and the like.
The gov't won't even let us use our phones without checking on us. We can't drive without a license, and there's a special one for motorcycles. Notaries have to take a class just to stamp impressions into paper. If and when the future (in all its flying car glory) arrives there are definitely going to be some big flaming hoops to jump through before we can use the unlabelled eye laser scanner to start the ignition. "Wrong laser! Wrong laser!"

"Old people can barely drive. I'd hate to see them fly."Replace "old" with "most" and you'll be on to something...
