I just take the wikipedia entry (our wiki doesn't have one) of vehicle and the first line says:
A vehicle (from Latin: vehiculum[1]) is a mobile machine that transports people or cargo.
-1 for "ufo -> flying saucer". Not all UFO's are flying saucers, just a common depiction of them. The opposite implication might be more valid, i.e. "flying saucer -> ufo".
Regardless, it doesn't fit with theme of "vehicles" that the other implications have, and should be submitted under it's own request. I'm going to go ahead and delete that line at least for right now.
Hmm, maybe you're right. In fact that's the implication I was really unsure about. So it wouldn't hurt^^.
But where are ufos not flying saucers? I have never seen another picture but where ufos as flying saucers. But that's not my field of interests^^.
I've seen them shown as long tubes, or cigar looking, or triangular looking, or just points of light or really any manner of shape.

I think in current usage vehicle is more or less for "ground vehicles" and so would require some big changes (particularly if we want be able to easily search through the tag) if we include watercraft, aircraft, and spacecraft into the vehicle tag. That's of course not saying we shouldn't make changes to how it currently is.
If we continue with using vehicle to refer to ground vehicles, then taxi should also not implicate vehicle, because taxi refers to the service (and visual to indicate said vehicle provides the service) and isn't necessarily limited to ground vehicles. Example (external link). Although even if it is expanded, I'm not sure taxi and it's iconic depictions might be limited to vehicles (perhaps an office where'd they'd dispatch taxis? No idea).
The wiki for motor vehicle states "a self-propelled wheeled vehicle that does not operate on rails, such as trains or trolleys." Thus train should not implicate motor_vehicle under its current definition.
I'm not sure on the ufo -> flying_saucer implication, if anything that kind of seems backwards, since UFOs have always been reported as having different shapes. The saucer shape has always just been the more common shape. Alternatively though, not all "flying saucers" will be UFOs. Manually tagging between the two would probably make more sense.
The bulk update request #562 has been rejected.
