That 1998 article saying we'd all have flying cars by 2010 still makes me laugh

I was cleaning out my dad's garage last weekend and found a torn out magazine page from 1998. It had this big prediction from some tech expert that by 2010, flying cars would be as common as minivans. He even threw in a number like 2 million units sold by 2012, which is just hilarious now. Meanwhile I'm sitting in traffic on the 405 for an hour every day watching drones deliver tacos but not a single flying car in sight. Did any of you have a favorite bad prediction from back then that you remember? I'm trying to find more of these old articles to share.

Oh man, the 2 million units thing gets me every time... so optimistic yet so wrong.
