I grew up with all the great sci-fi movies of the 80's that featured flying cars, such as Blade Runner, Back to the Future, The Last Starfighter etc... and had been looking forward to the worlds first flying cars that everyone could own ever since. 
However, during a discussion with some work mates, I came to realise that flying cars may not be everyone's cup of tea. Many people seem to be put off by the safety issues (mid-air collisions or falling out of the sky) and huge expense of owning such a vehicle. I did try to put the point across that many of these issues would have to be dealt with before such a vehicle could ever be available on the market, but my comments seemed to fall on deaf ears
I have included a poll to find out if a flying car would really be what people want. Please also include posts to share your thoughts and any news of flying car concepts and science breakthroughs.
