A growing number of transportation companies are working to make flying cars a reality. Though they might not look exactly like what you expected after growing up seeing flying cars in movies and TV shows like The Jetsons, the small plane type vehicles could be available to consumers within just a few years. So how many are interested in owning their very own flying cars?
Flying Cars
In Ask Your Target Market’s latest survey, just 32% of respondents said they would be likely to buy a flying car if they are released to consumers within the next few years. However, 47% said they would be interested in owning one at some point in the future. And 46% said they would be interested in owning one right away if they were actually affordable.
Future Growth
Currently, the flying cars that are in the works are slated to be fairly expensive. So only the extremely wealthy are likely to be able to afford them right away. But in the future, that could change. 35% of respondents think it’s likely that flying cars will become popular within the next 20 years.
Safety Concerns
But of course, a new type of transportation like this won’t come without some drawbacks. 77% of consumers said they would have safety concerns about traveling in flying cars. But many of the models are fairly similar to small planes, and 46% of respondents said they enjoy flying in planes. So as the technology is improved and becomes more common, people could come around to the idea.
