Flying Car Makes Successful Maiden Flight

This ain't a damn flying car. I want the real shit like the jetsons. Not a damn helicopter on top of a tricycle.
yeh, looks like a mini helicopter. If you're going to spend $125K and get 30 hours of training why not just get a pilots licence and a Cessna?
The video on that site was uploaded on April 1st, so without bothering to look around to find out if I'm right, I'm gonna call prank on this. (well done, though)
THIS will be the first flying car available for purchase within a year or two...

The Transition has already been talked about here. It's a bit expensive @ $280k, and of course needs a runway to take off like the ?HELICOPTER? in the OP... Oh the irony.
Since runways cost lots of money to use, no such vehicle will be the culmination of the "Flying Car" that we were promised back in the 1960s... A real flying car can VTOL from your driveway and you don't give a FUCK about roads anymore once you're in it.
(I'd also presume that it auto-navigates too since flying is too dangerous for the masses to be trusted with.)
