Morning commute got you down? Imagine flying over the worst parts of traffic, making a smooth landing and cruising into work or home.
That's the sort of future Dezso Molnar, a rocket scientist and inventor of several flying car models, is working to create.
His latest model, the Molnar GT, has the speed and agility for road travel and the lightweight materials needed to help the vehicle soar.
As the population continues to grow, Molnar sees flying cars as an alternative travel option in densely populated areas.
"In the future, there's not going to be any gas," Molnar said at his L.A. Auto Show chat. "Congestion is only on the upswing."
The flying car is not new. Molnar estimates that there have been about 100 flying cars throughout history.
In 2017, he will debut the flying car race, which will convene teams and their vehicles to compete, by air and by ground, between El Mirage Dry Lake and Border City, Nev. Molnar said he believes th e competition will generate new ideas and future development, but for now you'll have to keep enduring that L.A. commute.
