The Car is Over

"The car is over" is a bold claim recently made at the opening of what their owners describe as the first ever flying car store.

We would still caution you to look out for cars when crossing the road and must point out that this store doesn't actually have any flying cars to sell.

Technology is pushing forward and a range of companies are advancing in this space but this feels premature.

It also doesn't look great.

This company collaborated Renault on a flying car concept which looks like a boring old regular car with spinners attached. And can only fly for a few minutes.

Call us shallow - go on on, we won't mind at all - but we want the future to look much more futuristic than that.

Though the point of the exercise may have been less to inspire consumers and more to announce that Renault is in the flying car space, with a recognizably Renault shaped car in the air, even if only briefly.
