    one of my chud coworkers was talking about this excitedly. He keeps saying things like "The next logical step is nuclear cars."

    The logical step is to have fewer cars to begin with, not fitting them with even more explosive expensive things. Build trains and busses. Hydrogen fuel cell cars already exist and they have literally no benefits over a typical battery powered EV other than they make bigger, cooler looking explosions.

        I've always hated the flying cars promise. Flying planes already exist and work fine (mostly). Flying cars is just adding more lanes in the air rather than just...making bus and bike lanes or something normal

          Flying cars soypoint-2 people are just people who fantasize about being the only guy with a flying car and never thought about what happens when someone else also has a flying car

            Force them to watch the opening 20 minutes or so of "The Fifth Element" on a loop until they change their mind.
