See inside a revolutionary flying car that will cost $789,000 and just started test flights
Flying cars may be closer to reality than you think. Northern California-based startup Aska is trying to finally deliver what humans have been dreaming about for decades: A car that can drive on the road and then, with the flip of a switch, take off into the sky, "Back to the Future" style.

I will never understand the absolute infactuation with a flying car. I can buy a nice car for $100,000. I can buy a pretty nice airplane for $200,000. so why would I want to spend $800,000 for something that will not outperform either of those?
Maybe it's a fantasy about flying out of a traffic jam? Some people would pay a lot of money for that privilege.
I wish I could do that every day on I610 here in Houston. That, or have a James Bond-esque vehicle with a rocket launcher!
Would rather have a helo - straight up
For those an old enough, Remember the Cartoon, the Jetsons with the Flying Space Cars... Looks cool, but I doubt they will ever be practical... So what will you need to drive fly this thing... Both a Pilots and A Drives License... Nice Idea: Get a copy behind you with his lights on.. Spread your wings and Go Somewhere else.. LOL! James Bond all the way around.
It would be fun in Microsoft Flight Simulator, but I do not think I would trust my life in it...
