We are officially in the era of flying cars. Yes, you read that right. What once lived in the imagination of sci-fi writers is now lifting off the ground—literally. Cities around the world are testing autonomous air taxis, drones are delivering packages, and the sky is slowly becoming a new kind of highway. The future isn’t just knocking—it’s hovering.
President Donald J. Trump has officially signed an executive order to expand the use of drones, electric air taxis, and flying cars—ushering in a new era of transportation. What was once the stuff of futuristic fantasy is now national policy.
This isn’t just a shift in how we move—it’s a shift in how we think. With air the paramedics now developing flying EMS cars.
Travel becoming more personal and autonomous, the demand for skilled technicians, drone operators, and next-generation mechanics is set to skyrocket. Traditional auto mechanics might want to start thinking vertically—literally. Because the garage of the future may be a hangar.
If you’ve been wondering where the world is headed, look up. The skies are opening, and President Trump just gave the green light.
And in moments like this, I can’t help but think... maybe Ms. Carter was never just Ms. Carter. Maybe she’s really Prophetess Carter with her flying car.
