The Federal Aviation Administration has certified for testing a vehicle that a California startup describes as a flying car — the first fully electric vehicle that can both fly and travel on roads to receive US government approval.
The company expects to sell the vehicle for $300,000 each with the first delivery by projected for the end of 2025.

Subaru goes out of its way however to stress that this aircraft is strictly a concept for now, but does add that engineers from its aerospace and automotive divisions are collaborating on developing a working prototype, even showing footage at the show of a blue, unmanned test vehicle flying at low altitude.
The Subaru even looks kind of like this 1950’s mockup.

Great people can’t drive worth a damn on ground, lets have them driving around the sky now too along with planes. No way this will go wrong/s.

You would need a pilot’s licence for this, and a PPL is far more difficult to get than a driver’s license.
