These "flying car" ideas and some prototypes have been around since the 1950s. Popular Science and Popular Mechanics magazines seemed to run a lot of stories about them. But to me, and especially today, they seem like a solution in search of a problem. 25 mph. on the ground but a 110 range airborne...on a drone license? These things always seem to appeal to those folks who are non-pilots; people who have little or no idea what is involved in actually piloting an aircraft.
An interesting toy for some, maybe. But little beyond that.
