The technology for flying cars may be available, but the driving abilities of the population needs to come a long, long way. I’ll have to agree with the above.

You still need an Airstrip and a pilots license. The Terrafugia is however a very clever step forwards and a very neat little package. For ease of use I think the Moller M400 will be the one to watch, but alas news is scarce and development seems to be taking decades. It is their intent to eventually make the vehicle take off, fly to your destination and then land automatically. Getting the computer software to work with the hardware was proving difficult in the last news letter. It will be a true VTOL vehicle when eventually released. And just to put you at ease, the age of family sized flying cars doing transatlantic trips is a fair way off yet.....and think of the planning and clearances that would have to be done.If anything migrant restrictions etc would be more closely monitored. You have a few more years of peace yet! LOL A brilliant design but think about the reality for a moment. You still need an Airstrip and a pilots license.
