Are flying cars the future?
I don't know, but what I do know is that it's certainly feasible.
A French company called Vaylon developed a flying car that recently flew across the English channel in about 50 minutes.
It's an off-road buggy which has paragliding gear attached, which they call the Pegasus (after the mythic horse with wings).
Here's a video from them:
(skip to 2 min 5 seconds to see it take off)
Looks real fun to me! Would certainly be fun to fly over traffic jams :D
Doesn't even look too expensive for normal consumers..
