I remember reading an article about the skycars back when I started high school. Sounded like a gimmick then... a lot of people were saying it would be a flash in the pan.
10 years on and the idea and the company are still up and running. I believe I read somewhere that they've hovered them and were going to start the high speed flight testing...
Who knows. I doubt they'll ever become the new car, but as a replacepent for some helicopters maybe...
I wouldn't mind having CPL(skycar) on my licence!
