Would you ride a flying car?

空飛ぶクルマに乗る?

A hover car certainly looks cool, but would you be willing to ride one at this early stage of development? This machine operates without a pilot, takes off vertically and is electric powered. What if something goes wrong and a pilot is needed, what would happen? I imagine that if there were enough of them, the skies would be just as crowded and twice as loud as the streets. Would the skies then become just as dangerous as the streets? I guess flying directly to your destination may be worth the risk, but I would pack a parachute!

空飛ぶクルマはもちろんカッコイイですけど、あなたは、そんな開発の初期段階に乗りますか。このマシンは自動飛行し、垂直離着陸できる電動の車です。もし、問題が起きた場合、パイロットがいなかったら、どうなるでしょうか。また、このマシンが多くなれば、地上の道より騒音が2倍大きくなり、空の道の渋滞も想像に固くないです。それでは、地上の通りと同じくらい危険になるかもしれません。また、目的地まで直行便で行くというリスクを犯してもいいかもしれませんが、私はパラシュートを持っていきます!
