> Is it science fiction? Yes. Are we far away from that? Of course. But that's what people on this century understands as a 'flying car'. Right now it's called 'flying car' because like in the 1930's, the concept of roadable aircraft wasn't known. 'Flying car' is the equivalent to say "that thing that flies and looks like a car" when it hasn't been conceived before, you're not a military professional or you haven't heard about the correct term before.
I'm apparently a bit more intelligent than that. Top-down, yo. As for automated air travel, if the travel lanes aren't shorter-route, then it's a ridiculous idea.
All this little boy hubbub to make nonsensical toys.......
