This year's flying car concept creating a buzz, like all the others going back to circa 1999.
I love the fact that people are pushing at this, but I wonder why so many people throw so much money at developing these things. They sit on a fault line between road use and aviation and can't be used for either.
You wouldn't be allowed to use airfields, and you wouldn't be allowed on the road. The best innovation that anyone could focus on when trying to bring about the dawn of personal airborne transport is to tackle the rules and legislation that defines what's possible.
And then after that, design and get approved a whole new set of laws, rules, and operational networks that these hybrids can use.
Then it might be worth investing millions in developing a product.
At which point anyone who might buy one would realise that it's quicker to drive from point to point than to fly around the circuitous safety route needed to get their by carplane.
Sigh.
Good effort though. Well done.
