Flying Cars

Wow, flying cars! What will they think of next.
I believe that what happens is that the car loses traction on the drive wheels and may brake loose the other wheels, causing a skid. The car does not increase in speed, the tires just spin without traction at a faster rate causing the speedometer to jump.
It is dangerous, however, as mentioned.
