As the last paragraph of that page says, none of those ever developed a viable flying car. Also, "flying car" is not the same as "roadable aircraft." A plane that can have its wings removed or collapsed is not a flying car, but a driving plane. To know "what I'm on about," just turn to page three: "Paul Moller has spent 40 years and millions of dollars developing his Skycar." That's "millions of dollars" of other people's money. He was sued a decade ago, and his current plans go back to something akin to his original design, capable of hovering at 10 feet, and not at all suitable for transportation.
