As a visionary person with a futuristic view, which makes the Tesla electric car, up to a reusable rockets Space X, Elon Musk turned out to be skeptical about the future vision that people has long been dream through a variety of science fiction movies, the flying car.
Musk says flying cars will bring more trouble than benefits. He underlined two problems that he thought were flying cars, the noise and falling objects that could harm people below. "There will be a lot of cars milling in the air, inevitably, somebody’s not going to service their car properly and they’re going to drop a hubcap and it’s going to guillotine somebody," Musk said pessimistically about the flying car

When he spoke in the event Boring Company, a company engaged in the excavation of the tunnel, in Los Angeles, USA, last week. Musk has actually expressed his opinion that does not agree with flying cars as a solution to reduce traffic jams.
Instead of cars flying around air, Musk proposed the construction of a high-speed underground transport system, such as Hyperloop which was also designed by his company. Hyperloop and Loop use "capsules" that move through underground tunnels at speeds up to 965 km per hour (Hyperloop) or 241 km per hour (loop).
The product of The Boring Company, Loop will ferry paying passengers underground through a series of tunnels in small pods. Loop will then start to accommodate passenger cars through its network.
Nevertheless, Musk is still convinced by Uber's flying car concept, for example, earlier this month introduced a prototype for Uber Air Service to be tested in 2020.
