Why dont we have food rehydraters or flying cars from BttF?

Flying cars is easy to answer why.

We definitely have the technology to make flying cars. We have had it a long time honestly. If we can make a helicopter, we can easily make a flying car using the same tech.

The reason why we don't make flying cars is because the cons of flying cars greatly outweigh the pros.

Just think about it logically for a minute. People are fucking dangerous on the road. Think about how much more dangerous they would be flying in the air. There would literally be drunk flyers flying into houses/buildings.

Think about Jeff Goldblum's quote from Jurassic Park. "Just because we can do something doesn't mean that we actually should do it." That not only applies to bringing dinosaurs back to life, but it also applies to making flying cars. Flying cars would just be way too dangerous in the real world.

Not only the safety issue, but it would also require a completely different license to fly. You would need a pilot's license to fly. Getting a pilot's license isn't like getting a driver's license. You wouldn't be able to just walk into the BMV and get a pilot's license.

Flying cars are nice in theory, but in reality they just wouldn't work out at all.
