Elon Musk weighs the pros and cons of flying cars
20th Century Fox
In a series of tweets Tuesday afternoon, Musk explained that he's never been against the concept necessarily - it's just that flying cars come with their own pluses and minuses.
Contrary to press reports, I'm not against flying cars. Just said it was important to consider both pros and cons.

Flying car pros: travel in 3D fast. Cons: risk of car falling on head much greater, noisy, grounded in bad weather

Reasons I like tunnels: you still travel in 3D fast, but immune to weather, quiet and no risk cars fall on your head

Right move is try both tunnels and flying cars. Otherwise, having 2D streets and 3D buildings means bad traffic forever.

So there you have it: Flying cars might be good, but also might be bad. Maybe he'd feel differently if they were self-driving.
