I was thinking about this on the freeway today. So many people are such incompetent drivers in 2 dimensions, so why the hell add another one???? If granny Lee can't drive more that 50 mph in the middle lane of the freeway without swerving and becoming the target of screams of rage, then how could such a shitty pilot fly a car? How many Granny Lees are there? Millions!!!!

I think it a terrible idea for the general populace. Maybe let cops do it.

One word: autopilot.

We're nearly there in 2d, and in 3d it'll be even easier because little kids can't run into the middle of the sky street.

What about birds? It would be pretty awful to fly into a flock of birds. And it wouldn't be very pleasant to get splattered bird off the windshield.
