Is this the solution ?


Recommended Posts

Came across this recently and can't wait to see how Southwark and the pro cycling lobby react to this. 

Flying cars are now reality at https://jetson.com/

Although as a side note, next delivery window 2026 and at a cost of over £100 thousand - can't see it replacing Volvo SUVs just yet...

Not sure why this will wind people up.  I work in transport and a former colleague moved to a flying car company.  They went bust.  It's niche/novelty or for those who don't know what to do with their money.  It won't be mainstream.  Whereas cycling is an excellent solution for many people's transport needs in urban areas.

At one time cars were seen as niche and for the rich with too much money, but mass production and automation of production lines soon placed cars in the hands of everyone.

Whilst I think the Jetson one won't be the answer, you can bet your bottom dollar that flying cars will be on (or is that above) the streets sooner than we think 🤔

Can you imagine school drop-off and pick-up times with a bunch of those buzzing around?!

 

The fact this relies on the user to pilot it is the really scary thing. Seen plenty of drones adapted for carrying people but they are autonomous.

    • And that's good news for the existing cohort of state school children at those schools how exactly? A sudden influx of kids from the private sector will mean class sizes will grow and the most disadvantaged will lose out - remember a private school child moving to state is a double-whammy as they won't be paying the 20% tax and costing the state more for the state school place they will be occupying. Very, very unlikely - far more likely to make them even more elitist as it is the big schools like Eton (which massively skew the perception of private school in the minds of the masses) which will survive. It is the smaller schools that will struggle and many of those are not catering to the types who frequent Eton etc.
    • Hi!  I found a bank card on Ondine Road for somebody named Lynn. The bank is Asda money.  If this is you, please get in touch! Please include your surname in the response for security reasons 🙂 Kind Regards, E
    • Has anyone got several boxes you no longer  need. Would be gratefully appreciated.
    • They apparently have another office: https://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/register/organisation/?sraNumber=70939.  A Firm can't simply close down without arrangements in place to store/access deeds (especially Wills) and other important documents they hold, unless they have arranged to return them to the owner. The Law Society or SRA should definitely be able to help.
