Study Says American's Want Flying Cars As Long As There Is A Parachute

A recent study conducted by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute has found that a majority of respondents liked the idea of flying cars, but with a few conditions. KSLA 12 News, via Raycom News Network, first reported that, according to the study, which consisted of an online survey of 508 adults, about 80 percent responded that it’s "extremely or very important" for flying cars to have parachutes. And instead of taking off and landing like an airplane, they should be inspired by helicopters.

When asked what super power a person would like to have (except money) - the overwhelming majority (About 70%) pick flying - over all others including the ability to repel gunshot. THis has been the case for decades - and I would not expect that to change much in the future either.

Thank the almighty that we fly and need to get places fast a lot more often than to repel gunshots (wtf).
