      Probably. I mean, one could argue that aeroplanes are a version of flying cars?
      Uber and Google are working on developing flying cars as far as I know. I’m sure they’ll be around at some point!

      There are some concept design around and they keep saying it’s coming soon.. but if it wants to fly it needs to look similar to the aeroplane in order to create drag so it can lift from the ground… I don’t know we already have drones and they are creating enough problems… people flying them in places that can create a hazard and cause catastrophic accidents… so imagine everyone has a flying car…there needs to be so many new rules and how you can dive/fly… I don’t see a very valid reason really to have flying cars… just for emergencies like police and ambulance would be useful which they already are using helicopters… so it might happen at some point but i don’t think it’s very useful

      There are companies that have them now and in a couple years will try to sell them. But think of all the crash that happen on a road when a car can only really move in 2 dimensions, when you add that 3 in (up and down) that will make life interesting to put it mildly.

      Well in back to the future the film they had hover boards in 2015…..

      It’s 2019 now and I’m still waiting for mine 😉

      I think it will be a lot of years till we have flying cars I’m afraid.
