I have been following the Skycar for a long time. Paul has dedicated his whole life to this vehicle. He created early prototypes as early as the 60’s. The appeal of this vehicle is the ability to take off and land vertically, no runway, just like a Harrier jet. Compare this to other “flying car” attempts, which require fold away wings and a runway, or are just 3D computer mock-ups and you will see that this it the real deal.
To become a reality for the mass market, Skycar will need the ability to fly itself (no way should the idiots on the road have the choice to pilot one of these) and an integrated traffic management system. Until we see these in road vehicles, flying cars will not be a reality for mass market transportation.

This video discusses why flying cars will need to drive themselves.
