content: I agree in some ways, I'm still waiting on the 'Flying Car' that was going to be in every driveway that a 70s era Popular Science told me I'd have. But ... Batteries are being improved regularly now, I see the stories often about the next generation being awesome (but too lazy to look for links - LOL). And paramotors ... powered paragliders ... do it now. No pilot license required and as long as they operate at low altitudes ( under 1K ft, I think) they have no FAA restrictions.
