The Feds are working on it? I haven't seen much about flying cars in years.

But, I saw a Mercedes Benz video last year about a prototype car they've built that is almost able to drive itself unaided. (There have to be transmitters along the roadway telling it speed limits and warning of upcoming road signage/signals, etc. ----Then there are "judgement calls" that a machine isn't too good at.
