It’s some shit you’d see on mythbusters. Just strapping a bunch of compressed air tanks on a car shell to see if it could jump like in the movie:____ like they’d always do with movie magic stuff. Movies used a lot of practical effects back in the day so this would’ve been right up their alley.

I genuinely don’t get Reddit.

Like, obviously people aren’t going to be driving these on the roads, yet half the comments are people trying to seriously explain why we can’t drive them on the roads like they think other people think that.

In a vacuum, I'd think "hell yeah, that looks fun" knowing full well this is just a stunt. I loved Junkyard Wars and Mythbusters growing up. I am a little annoyed seeing all the memes saying "Elon Musk invented flying cars". Like, no.

Thats the part that kills me. This thing never flew once in the entire video. It did a vertical jump with a flip but immediately fell with nothing holding it in the air.

I guess Ive been flying all my life when I jump up to grab things by that logic.
