Where are those flying cars we were promised?

[gategrrl]

 Remember way back when, Buck Rogers, Heinlein and all those other SciFiGuys predicted the wave of the future was going to be flying cars? (there was even a line in a movie/TV show I saw recently where a character asked, "where are the flying cars?") Well, here is a flying car...or is it a driving plane? You decide! Pretty cool stuff, I think.

Yeah, I figured if they're building a convergent machine like this that they've done their market research to find communities like the one you mentioned: near small airports, little access to major airports...

The carplanes are kind of pricey, though. I don't know how they compare with a used Cessna, for instance, but if you didn't have to pay for a car in addition to an airplane, it might be a savings. But its like watching a bat crawl around on the ground.
