Often, our visions for the future don't come out look exactly like we pictured. The most futuristic technology I could dream up as a kid was a video phone, but it didn't end up looking like a television with a phone attached. It ended up looking like an iPhone.
So it goes with the flying car. Considering we're nowhere near close to even a hoverboard, the dream of a regular, car-shaped car zooming through the sky is still just a fantasy. Instead, our best bet is the Volocopter. It's kind of like a human-sized drone, or a helicopter that's as easy to fly as a car is to drive, and is designed to travel short distances. In other words, this is our flying car.
After six years of development and seeking flying permits, the German-designed Volocopter took its first manned flight and published the video this week. Check it out, and adjust your daydreams about picking up your sweetie for a date at the fly-in movie theater accordingly:
