Where are the Flying Cars?

If you're old enough to remember extravagant mid-20th century claims about the inevitable march of progress, you're probably also familiar with the plaintive cry of many an aging baby boomer. "It's 2015...so where is my flying car?"

As this year's Detroit Auto Show continues, it's a good time to take a look at where we've gone from automotive technology from the point of view of a personal injury attorney. What's replaced the flying car in the modern mindset are two ideas that seem a lot safer and more practical: the electric and the self-driving car. At the higher end, outstanding fully electric cars such as the Tesla are now a definite practical reality, and the unveiling of the Chevy Bolt means that popularly priced electrics with large driving ranges are on their way as well.

Of course, the car that truly could revolutionize auto safety, the Google Car, is still a work in progress. The latest story is that the self-driving car has has been, we're sure temporarily, defeated by snow. While this is truly exciting technology, auto safety is inevitably going to remain an issue for years -- though the kind of legal cases might that we'll see might well change and evolve.

In the meantime, Cameron Yadidi Brock and the entire team of the Law Offices of Burg and Brock are here to help out when due compensation isn't forthcoming from today's all-too-common injury car accidents. We have a great trial record which we plan to maintain indefinitely, even if they ever come out with those flying cars.
