Tesla CEO Talks Realities of Flying Cars
Tesla CEO and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has explained why that grand vision of the future, flying cars, may not be all they're cracked up to be.
On a recent episode of Neil Degrasse Tyson's podcast Startalk (via Business Insider), Musk explained the practical realities that could stand in the way of the future as portrayed in The Jetsons, Back to the Future, and The Fifth Element.
"If there are flying cars then, well, obviously then you have added this additional dimension where a car could potentially fall on your head and would be susceptible to weather," he said. "It’s got to be autopilot, but even on autopilot, and even if you’ve got redundant motors and blades, you are still going from near zero chance of something falling on your head to something greater than that."

Valery Spiridinov, a 30-year-old computer scientist from Vladimir, Russia, told the Daily Mail that he has full faith in the controversial Dr. Sergio Canavero, the Italian physician many medical professionals are criticizing for his radical views. Canavero recently said he thinks modern science can support a head-transplant procedure, and has been working to gather funds and resources.
'Am I afraid?" Spridinov said. "Yes, of course I am. But it is not just very scary, but also very interesting." Spiridinov was born with the rare Werdnig-Hoffmann muscle-wasting disease, a severe category of spinal muscular atrophy. He said he wants to take his chance at having a healthy body before he dies.
