BBC - Future - Why everyone may have a personal air vehicle

" It’s basically the intersection of a drone with a robotic car, so that your plane is also your car, but the big leap in technology is that you are actually driving neither, says the Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."

One of my very earliest techie memories is of reading about flying cars in Popular Mechanics magazine (and elsewhere) in the nineteen freakin’ forties. So it’s nice to see they’re still just around the corner.

(Another theme of the 40’s and 50’s was cars that turn into boats. I actually saw one of those once, in the St. Joseph river in Michigan. It looked like a Studebaker driving through an especially nasty puddle. But there it was.)
