well the flying cars is easy:
there’s two reasons. First, It’s very energy inefficient.
That’s no excuse! They’d be expecting everything to be “too cheap to meter” nuclear, if not Mr. Fusion.
Secondly, it’s about size and form factor.
what is a flying car? a hybrid vehicle designed to be able to switch between being a ground vehicle and an aircraft.
George Jetson’s flying car folded up into a briefcase. The '50s people continue to be disappointed in your lame excuses!
I mean, read the foundation series. Asimov’s take kn where we’d be would have probably slagged most the planet… they just didn’t how dangerous that stuff is.
Which is hilarious because when he was talking about things glowing with radiation… it was literal. Humans can see x-rays as a soft blue glow. If the source is strong enough. (And that’s very much not safe to be around,)
It’ll be interesting to see what we misunderstand in our modern sci-fi
