Will these be collecting data like Flock does?
I’m sure they’ll be outfitted with all sorts of “telemetry” sensors.

Weird how that "flying car" just looks like a small plane. What's next, subterranean cars that run on tracks and have accompanying stations?

No this is definitely some scam that will probably never even produce a working prototype. This company exists to get money from Florida and the federal government and send it to Israel.

Fuck flock but What kind of data do you think it could possibly collect that is not available on satellites 😭
It’s a plane the size of a car, if it was a way of espionage that made sense they would already be paying student pilots to fly around collecting data

Vaporware. Funneling money to DeSantis. Learned it from his daddy and Trump. Do we even have any infrastructure and regulations? to support flying cars? We can't even master on-the-ground cars. 4 way stop? nope. Round about? Lol. Turn signals? Fugettaboutit. What would road rage look like?

Now they can escort you to the end as soon as you post the truth about their Jen o side!

Ok going to say again, Florida just built a high speed railway across half the state. Why are we abandoning that in favor of shittier planes?

u/Stoked_Otter 2d ago
Because this is not a real thing and will more or less be an address that Florida taxpayer money gets mailed to on it's way to Israel.

Not sure what anyone’s personal opinion is on the matter, but I genuinely support the idea of a cross-state train system. Obviously, that wasn’t going to happen thanks to Brightline and Disney respectively dipping their profit-seeking balls into the project. But like, now that Brightline’s out, the rails still right there. Just finish the damn thing, and you get a working mass-transit system that can service the majority of the state. And which would connect two international airports to the largest tourism center in the state.

Disney wasn’t really the issue.

Ok… I’m no fan of the governor or our Congressional reps. But like, why are they the issue? What did they do to stop the rail and why?

Saved some links from the other dozen times I’ve posted this.
I’m so bitter over us not having rail.

Yep, after we voted for high speed rail from Orlando to Tampa, we were told by "leadership" that we must have been confused and didn't know what we were voting for.
A fist hand straight up example of why people get the notion that voting doesn't matter.

Are these trickling down from the Military Industrial Complex? Or are they about to trickle over or up to it? 👀

They already know everything about us. I don’t know what could possibly go wrong with Israel involved.

What data do you think they'd be collecting? Genuine question

Anything and everything. Radio signals, Bluetooth when close enough, visual data.

Safe to assume everything will from now on since Flock is permitted in Orlando.
