If you don't drive it on the road, it's not a car. What you want is for everyone to own an aircraft. I like the words that article used: Personal Air vehicle. That's what you want, not a "flying car". That's how what the Jetsons use would be classified.
A "CAR" is a specific type of motorized vehicle with 4 wheels and an engine that (directly or indirectly) drives them.
"1. a road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine and able to carry a small number of people"
Street legal cars that can also fly do exist. Sure, the propeller and wings don't come off of the following example, but it still has 4 wheels and the engine drives the wheels (RWD, in this case).
You can see all kinds on youtube. Don't hate because they're not mass produced and you (nor anyone here probably) can afford one, or could be bothered having to get an FAA license and drive to the air strip to fly with it.
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
