The irony of Doc Brown saying "where we're going, we don't need roads". Only to get to the future and have to worry about the skyway being jammed.

The flying cars scene of "Attack of the Clones" is comedy gold. Imagine being in your airspeed on a Coruscant night, minding your own business while driving thousands of miles above the air, and then two Jedi just appear out of nowhere and treat your vehicle like a Mario Bros. platform. Sure those drivers cursed all the ancestors and descendants of Obi-Wan and Anakin at that single moment 😅

7:07 To be fair, once you get a certain number of flying cars you need to have some way to regulate them so they don't crash into each other all the time. I could see them being restricted to certain paths to avoid accidents. Especially when the buildings are too tall to fly over. The reason why we have so few airplanes crashing into each other is because of the relatively small number of them and we can better keep them away from each other.

You opened this can of worms, now I need a vehicle breakdown of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Your fault for bringing up my favorite childhood movie.

5:53 Tat reminds me of something.
During WW2, many civilian cars were modified to run on wood gas (take wood and heat it in a sealed container. A flamable gas will be released through a process called pyrolysis) as gasoline was in short supply.
The usually ended up having something that looks like a cross between a potbelly stove and a still at the back with pipes running to the engine comparment.
I guess that's sort of what they were going for in this scene.

This video really needs a Part 2. There are so many other things that could be discussed about cars in fiction.
-The super-car that has an entire arsenal of weaponry and bizarre high tech gadgets: every James Bond car, KITT from Knight Rider, the Viper from its TV series, etc.
-Crash protection systems: most fiction avoids them, but there is one such system in Demolition Man, where the car basically engulfs you in a special foam, like a high tech all-around airbag.
-Amphibious cars: not very practical (or cheap) with current technology, but they often appear in fiction since it allows more freedom in the story.
As an addendum, I should add normal looking cars, but powered by something else that appears plausible, but in hindsight, it's a bad idea. I recall one British TV series, forgot its name, where in one episode someone has the genius idea of developing a self-driving car powered by a small RTG (Radioisotope thermoelectric generator), and the villain of the week wants to turn it into a dirty bomb or something, been a long time and don't recall all the details.

Honestly the flying cars following specified lanes makes sense in my mind because you would need to have designated flight patterns to prevent just random chaos. Not as strictly as we see in Episode 2 perhaps, but having designated fly zones does make sense considering that we do that with planes currently where they are given designated flight corridors to avoid collisions.

Never thought I would see footage of the anime "Phoenix: Future" in this channel. For those who don't know, it's an amazing underrated OVA that brilliantly adapts one of the arcs of Osamu Tezuka's manga "Hi no Tori", the magnum opus of his career. In this story, the crew of a ship stranded in the middle of space discover to their horror, after waking up from the suspended animation due to a fatal crash the ship suffers, the tied corpse of the only member of the group who stayed awake to supervise them. After escaping to the space pods, the characters spend most of the plot inside these claustophobic capsules in the middle of the space, trying to deduce who (or what) could have killed them. I REALLY reccomend this anime, not only because his story, but also because his amazing animation and ost

Back to the future promised us flying cars by now.
WHERE'S MY FLYING CAR, MCFLY!!

As a world builder, this is much more useful than most other topics you do as it’s not military related. I’m actually going to do a 3 tier system of a Metro (Based on Washington D.C’s system), a series of self driving cars with non-rubber wheels on a glass like surface that allows for high speed but safe travel and flying cars for the corporate elite. But also self driving to prevent people from slamming them into their bosses house.

Flying cars are like lightsabers, they look cool but if we had them we'd be in the hospital or the morgue in a week.

My favourite example of (near-)spherical wheels with in/on wheel motors AND needless hollow interior has to be in Tron Legacy. Yes, it’s mostly bikes — but there’s exactly one car with the same wheels!

a video on futuristic walkable cities, cycling infrastructure, 15 minute cities, pedestrian friendly urban design in sci fi

Fun fact: Speaking of Blade Runner's flying car, you can actually see the remains of one of these vehicles in the movie "Soldier", which takes place in the same universe

About the flying cars sticking to specific lines, it can easily be explained by the city not wanting people taking random directions and colliding into each other, so you have rules about where can you fly, and maybe it uses a kind of 3d GPS to know that you are in the allowed lanes.
It would still have the advantage that you could have more lanes than on the ground by staking multiple layers "streets" widout having to build a bunch of bridges on top of one another.

It's good to remember the saying about reinventing the wheel when designing your futuristic sci-fi wheel. Some artistic liberty is fine but even so it has to make some degree of sense.
A good example of a bad design is in the Cyclone vehicle from Star Citizen. The wheels have tires and the rim but no solid attachment to the hub with enough free space for another hub to fit within the rim. The whole thing is held together with gravity and power transmission is through the matching gear teeth on the rim and the hub, which makes absolutely no sense on an off-road vehicle.

The Starcar from The Last Starfighter was my first love "future car". I mean, it changed into an FTL-capable shuttle!

Great video! You should do ocean going ships in science fiction next!

What about a hybrid between hover cars and regular cars? You would drive them in "ground mode" at slow speeds, and switch to "hover mode" while cruising or to cover difficult terrain.
That would also mean that you could equip them with beefier and wider wheels designed more like a landing gear meant only for stopping, maneuvering and parking, rather than do-it-all wheels from regular cars.

The lack of flying pedestrians for flying car accidents is unrealistic
