SkyDrive has been granted a safety certificate from the Japanese government for their flying car concept. They were able to conduct a successful pilot test last year. As companies in Japan and elsewhere continue to move forward we could be closer to the realization of more flying vehicles soon.
The interest is there for consumers and investors to push these projects forward and now we are seeing more car makers get into the business as well. With Hyundai and others looking into the flying car business this could become a reality in the future if governments embrace the change and afford companies the freedom to explore transportation alternatives. One thing is certain and that is that traffic in many regions worldwide is a nightmare and maybe flying cars can help to reduce some of that congestion.
