Elon Musk on why he doesn't like flying cars: 'That is not an anxiety-reducing situation

Tesla CEO Elon Musk was arguably the biggest tech titan to take the stage at the 2017 TED conference.During an onstage interview with TED curator Chris Anderson, Musk explained why he'sfocused on underground transportation (through Hyperloop and his new tunnel boring company, the Boring Company)instead of flying cars.According to Musk, the main challenges with flying cars is that they'll be noisy and generate lots of wind because of the downward force required to keep themin the air. Plus, there's an anxiety factor."Let's just say if something is flying over your head...that is not an anxiety-reducing situation," he said. "You don't think to yourself 'Well, I feel better about today. You're thinking''Is it going to come off and guillotine me as it comes flying past''Later in the interview, Anderson asked Musk whether other automakers were attempting to follow in Tesla's footsteps with electric vehicles. "Ithink almost every automaker has some electric vehicle program. Some are serious about transitioning entirely to electric," he said. "Apparently, in order to motivate BMW executives, they showed a picture of me."SEE ALSO:What it's like to attend the TED talks, where attendees pay $10,000 to learn the next big ideasJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: Uber wants to carry you around in a flying car ' here's what it could look like
