People have been talking about flying cars for DECADES, and yet, there’s been virtually ZERO development on that . . . until recently, when Elon Musk unveiled what he claims could become the first flying car.

 

So a new poll asked, “Would you personally want to ride in a flying car, if you had the opportunity?”  18% of people say they “definitely would” . . . and another 23% say they probably would.

 

27% say they “definitely would NOT” . . . and another 19% say they probably wouldn’t.  12% say they’re “not sure.”  (They’re like the people who wait in line for a roller coaster . . . but bail before they get up to the front.)

 

The demographic MOST into it are:  Young men living down South.

 

The demographic LEAST into it are:  Old folks.  Anyone over 65.  Most of them are like, “Heck, no!”  But, to be fair, 13% of Boomers say they’d “definitely” do it.

 

Will it actually happen though?  36% of people say flying cars WILL be widespread in the U.S., at some point.  Another 48% don’t think it will ever be a mainstream thing.  18% aren’t sure.

 

Will it be a good thing?  13% of people say it would have a positive effect on society . . . 40% say it would have a negative effect . . . 25% say it would be more “neutral” . . . and 23% aren’t sure.
