Letter: Flying insanity

Published 19 July 2003

From Martin Peirce

These flying cars really are an incredible achievement (14 June, p 40). It must be quite hard to take all the things that are wrong with conventional cars and make them even worse.

Worse fuel consumption, worse air pollution, worse noise pollution, worse visual intrusion, worse resource consumption, worse congestion (as soon as more than a few people get them), worse parking space problems, worse safety (especially for bystanders, naturally), worse driver arrogance…I may have forgotten a few things.

Just what the world needs.
