We haven't a clue about the future. Even making educated guesses is futile. Here's why:
I watched part of a recent Twilight Zone marathon. The vision of the future, based on things they knew and things sci-fi suggested and educated concluding...and they weren't even close!
So why would our vision of the future, based on things we know and things sci-fi suggests and educated concluding be any closer to reality?
The flying car could be an opportunity: only an elite crowd of good, conscientious, safe, and intelligent drivers would be able to pass the licensing test. The dimmer, the dumber, the stupid, the "hold my beer and watch this" people would eventually die out, due to the lack of decent transportation to date and procreate. They'll inbreed for a while until they die out.
It could happen.
