Found an old Wired article from 1995 predicting we'd all have flying cars by 2010
Was cleaning out my dad's garage last weekend in Denver. Found a stack of old Wired magazines. One article from 1995 said flying cars would be everywhere by 2010 and the biggest problem would be traffic jams in the sky. We can barely get self-driving cars to work on flat roads. Nobody thought about how loud and dangerous flying cars would be. Anyone else find old predictions that aged this badly?

Man, those 90s predictions really missed the mark.

Right, because clearly by 2023 we'd all be commuting in flying cars and eating dinner in pill form. Instead we got video calls that freeze every 5 seconds and people losing their minds over avocado toast. Those old sci-fi writers really oversold the hoverboard portion of the future. We barely got self checkout machines working right.
