B) You want your flying car? Terrafugia has them. As always, the problem isn't building the car so much as needing a pilot's license to fly it.

C) From Cracked, but surprisingly on-point: The 10 Most Important Things They Didn't Teach You In School (hat tip [livejournal.com profile] jaylake).

D) Ever watch a movie and say "I've seen that guy before - what's his name?" Well, here's a pictorial list of That Guy!

The long-term solution to this will come when autopilots improve to the point that they can be trusted with the whole job of piloting. This will lead to multiple classes of pilot's license, with the easiest one to get simply indicating that you are familiar with emergency landing procedures should the autopilot fail, and the higher classes allowing you to actually fly on manual.
