Now many people go to work and school in groundrunning cars.There are buses,trains and bikes everywhere.However,some people still dream of a day when they can fly above the traffic on the ground.
In Singapore,a company showed a flying taxi.If some people traveled in flying taxis,there would be fewer cars on the road.It could reduce (减少) traffic there.In the 3D space of the sky,cars could move around each other without bridges,tunnels (隧道) or extra roads.The taxis could also take off and land on_rooftops.That can free up parking space on the ground.Besides,flying is fun.Wouldn't it be cool to fly to school?
However,there are quite a few reasons why we don't need flying cars.A famous inventor runs a rocket company and an electric car company.He seems like a perfect person to make flying cars a reality (现实).But he said, “If the sky was full of cars flying all over,it would affect sight.It would be noisier and there would be a greater chance of something falling on your head.And plane accidents seem to be worse than car accidents.”
He thinks building lots of tunnels underground is a safer and more reasonable choice for future transportation.What do you think about it? Are flying cars or taxis a good idea? Shall we find other ways to improve the future transportation?
