I think flying cars are possible, but security and regulatory issues actively prevent them from taking off. Look at all the microlights [1] that enthusiasts are having so much fun with. There are also tons of lightweight lower cost planes available now from as low as $20K. $80k like a high end car costs would get you something with decent speed and range. With the huge investment that the average car model development cycle receives you could develop a flying car, at least make a start. The fact that that there is no serious effort suggests its not the technology barrier. Some commentators seem to be concerned with the risks, but technology will develop to address it. If cars were introduced today the same arguments about risk and accidents could be made. After all cars can travel at high speeds much closer to crowds and other cars. But cars have been matured over nearly 100 years. Flying cars could do the same. [1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrEhrecBFIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrEhrecBFIs
