Flying cars are already mainstream, with some predicting that they’ll be commercially available by the end of next year. However, there are still many hurdles to overcome before this becomes a reality-such as FAA regulations on managing air traffic in an autonomous vehicle world where pilots don’t have control over their own aircraft anymore.
The head of Lacuna Technologies said that while flying cars might be here sooner than you think, they will still take time to get right.

“We don’t want these things just for show,” he explained. “What we need is something safe and reliable enough where I can go out with my family or friends on Saturday morning without thinking twice about it.” When asked how long this could realistically take place? Hugh Martin replied: “I would say 20 years at least”.
There are very few companies that have been working on developing aerial vehicles. The ones we know of include Chinese electric car maker Xpeng and Fiat Chrysler, but there may be more out in the market for us to discover yet!
People will be able to enjoy the dream of flying cars, but it won’t be an option for most. Instead, they’ll likely still use electric vehicles or self-driving ones that can travel on roads without having any need for takeoff time and don’t have safety concerns because their downfall would come before reaching their destination in case something goes wrong with one’s power source(s).

There is growing concern among city planners on how to best manage traffic for flying cars in the future. These vehicles could be allowed to take off, land or travel at any time but they’ll only fly during allocated hours and their location on an airport must allow them plenty of space from each other as well (a few hundred feet).
Once we figure out how to get across town without having an accident with our human-driven cars, it’ll be time for the next big thing.
A few years ago in America, there were only one or two major airports per city; now you’ve got thousands of tiny airstrips all over just because they’re convenient and can serve some purpose.
