Here is a link to the tests 18 months ago:

I believe US auto dealers are selling them NOW.
Only a few US states allow them. They run for $ 300,000 and self driving cars run for $ 150,000. The car I own runs on VOICE COMMANDS and it took me 3 weeks to learn how to work it. Passengers are not allowed to talk or the car could become confused. |
Sorry, I shouldn't have used the term "flying car". What I meant were small Vertical Takoff/Landing aircraft that would largely replace cars. Flying from driveway directly to destination. A rather terrifying prospect, considering the poor skills of the average driver.
That said, the true flying cars you listed are not all that affordable or practical.
