No they will just have to worry about some terrorist renting one, packing it with explosives and then crashing it into those skyscrapers filled with the idle rich. With self-flying cars, they won't even have to fly it themselves.
We are more likely to see first see terrorists everywhere using them more frequently than the wealthy, who will be busy building concrete shelters equipped with anti-aircraft defenses.
3) which happens to occur twice with every flight. If they can be made electric and designed for short trips.
There will likely be few "point to point" flights as people are simply not going to allow highways to form over their homes unless they are at high altitude, which will increase energy costs dramatically.
Don't forget miss the birds and the millions of recreational drones.
At least, the good news is that in a few years there won't be any more birds and likely. Then again, there won't be any more birds anyway as climate change continues, no people either. The entire technology should accelerate global warming given the extra energy requirements of getting from point A to point B. No doubt that justifies its necessity.
A big problem will be maintenance costs, which are not "self-fixing" and repair costs from self-flying "cars" crashing into homes, schools, businesses, etc.
If you think car insurance is expensive now just wait until flying cars become available.
Just because someone doesn't by a watch, doesn't mean no one will call 911 or that in time after the fall, people won't get up on their own. In most such situations people have been doing quite well for tens-of-thousands of years.
A number of state legislatures have legalized marijuana. Since the Constitution explicitly grants all rights not stated within the Constitution as rights of the Federal Government unto the States and the Constitution doesn't mention marijuana for, at least those states that have legalized the drug, the issue is settled.
Only in the event that Trump/GOP government attempts to take the issue to the courts to exert their claim, it is hard to imagine the government wasting funds on enforcement of laws they can't afford to prosecute those in states where the substance is legal.
Besides, it would only lead to the GOP being wiped out at the polls by the younger generation in those states. Remember, these laws became laws because of the will of the majority and the last thing the GOP would want would be to raise taxes to do it.
Then again, the Trump/GOP is likely to engage in almost anything that precludes rational thought just to prove they can.
here in Washington I can buy pot from my local Indian tribe, if I wanted. So far no sign of the feds. The Trump/GOP would be insane to try to outlaw it here. There would quickly not be a single GOP office holder in the state.
In fact, the US will have to decriminalize pot soon anyway or otherwise Canada or other countries will dominate the markets and the profits, and tax revenues, which are already in the billions of dollars.
Usually, when the police are called it is the local police that arrive, not the DEA. California has a law that precludes state employees from assisting federal employees trying to arrest people for activities that are not crimes within the state. Consequently, its extremely unlikely that the Feds would be involved. Indeed,, the Trump/GOP is so busy slashing federal budgets that virtually all agencies are strapped for funds as part of the efforts at deregulation.
They don't seem to have this problem in Chicago, although they have been known to release Green dyes into the water on St. Patrick's Day. In Chicago the problem is with live grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idelle that were introduced into the Mississippi River and threaten the ecology of the Great Lakes.
Yes let's apply political ideology and pretend that Scott's policies regarding the discharge of waste from sugar plantations, agricultural runoff, and livestock yards are in now way connected to the Red Tides. Funny how this argument so closely parallels the climate denial meme that "the climate has always changed" therefore, ignore reality. The truth is that if it weren't for the ocean currents, Gulf Current and Florida Loop Current, the situation would be a lot worse. These tides didn't arise by blowing in from somewhere else. They arise from an overabundance of nutrients in the water, stemming largely from uncontrolled agricultural runoff. The same is true for the Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone, which results from the runoff of fertilizers used by corn farmers in the Midwest finding there way into the Mississippi River Drainage System. The reality for Scott, Floridians, and its tourist industry is that these are now going to be permanent fixtures of Florida's coastlines for years to come until the policies or the politicians are changed. Perhaps there is a bit of irony in the fact that the Red Tied trump Trump's GOP promises and delivers is not the one that the public wants.
BTW, the "Red" in Red Sea more likely refers to the direction South. The Greeks attached colors to each cardinal direction as did a number of Asiatic languages, that for South being red. The Greek Historian Herodotus used interchangeably with the name referring adjective southern. In English these cardinal colors were earlier used in similar fashion, such as the Black Sea, the White Sea and the Yellow Sea. The ancient Greeks had no knowledge of microorganisms.
As for thinking rationally, you ought to give it a try rather than mindless appeals to ideological orthodoxy. Who knows? You might look good in a hippy hat. It might even be good for your health, relative to the tin-foil hats that seem to be the rage in many GOP circles these days.
Trump has insisted that a Red Tide is coming. The Florida GOP has now gotten behind their leader to make it happen by putting in place GOP environmental policies that make will make Red Tides a permanent fixture of Florida coastlines for years to come. .
This is precisely why SCOTUS ruled the way it did in Citizen's United. By making money free speech and permitting "dark" untraceable spending on electioneering, it paved the way for large foreign/international corporations to funnel unlimited money into the election process. Now Putin and the Saudis have more to say who gets elected than you do. The irony, of course, is that they are now much better able to fool a sizable fraction of the electorate to vote against their own interests.
Is this the best argument the GOP can use now to pardon itself for its policies with regard to telecommunication services?
To paraphrase a famous Republican "your argument is a like a thin homeopathic soup made by boiling the shadow of a dead pigeon who died from starvation". Obviously, the GOP has come a long way from the day Lincoln was president.
Seattle is better connected than those of us on the far side of Puget Sound. In Kitsap county we are restricted to 150 GB/sec for about $70/month unless you start paying much more for enterprise/business service, which can get you up to about 500 GB/sec. Of course, you can always get much less broadband and speed if you don't want to pay the local, largely monopolistic Comcast Communications for service.
You've hit precisely when the Trump administration wants to keep the bar for telecommunications low. it inhibits competition in the markets, thereby keeping profits of large, largely monopoly players intact and funneling campaign contributions to the GOP.

Seems very unlikely the rich will want to car pool.

Who needs truth now that we have Kavanaugh?
but the Court finds them only worth $1.00.
A court, the place one used to go to find justice that no longer exists.
Have you ever driven 1 mph over the speed limit?
if so, you better turn yourself in.
Likely, soon the watch will call iAmbulance, a subsidiary of Apple.

Certainly, nowhere near so as Donald Trump and his GOP.

No doubt Brett Kavanaugh has bought one.
Sounds as if you would enjoy Egypt. Have a nice vacation.

Nothing of this magnitude (more than 150 miles of coastline affected) has happened in recent history.
