You are some 2-3 km in the air. There’s nothing to hold on to. You are sitting on a piece of cloth that is barely large enough to accommodate you. No railings, no seatbelts, nothing to hold on to or stop you from falling to your death if the carpet gets into turbulences or a strong gust of wind makes you lose your balance. And let’s not forget that most depictions of magic carpet flights have the carpet move very erratically because they have a mind of their own.
People think the future has arrived because we have aircraft that marketing departments are calling “flying cars”. However, when we have “magic carpets” that float around with mechanisms not based on aerodynamics or lift, that’s when the future will have arrived.
