Flying cars aim to hit skies in 2017

Washington: AeroMobile aims to hit the skies with its flying car in 2017, and the self-flying car sometime in the years following, it has been reported.

The new model would apparently be robust enough to be able to take off and land from grass strips, not just airport runways, the Verge reported.

The first commercial product would be a two seater and include a parachute. It's not clear whether AeroMobile would be able to actually achieve that goal, but it does seem like the first prototype was working.

After that model, AeroMobile wanted to release a four-seater flying car designed to be fully autonomous. If a pie-in-the-sky dream of the flying car wasn't enough, now people can hope for a self-driving/self-flying car.
