He also made a case against flying cars at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit on Thursday, saying he’s not sure about them.

“If the sky was full of cars flying all over the place, it would affect how things look. It would affect the skyline. And it would be noisier and there would be a greater probability of something falling on your head. Those are not good things,” he said, reported the Verge.

But he said it would be nice to have a sky full of flying Teslas. 

“On the other hand, you'd be able to go from one place to another faster,” he said. Musk said we could see similar same gains in travel speed through easier methods, namely eliminating traffic “choke points” and constructing giant systems of underground tunnels.
