> When people think of flying cars what they generally have in mind is not a car that can do a flip, it's car that can take them somewhere without needing a road so that it doesn't get stuck in traffic. This car can't do that. All it can do is backflips in a parking lot. That's not nothing, but the novelty will wear off very quickly.

Aye.

That said, on previous stories about flying cars I tend to bring up how the helicopter meets such a standard.

It does't tend to go down well.
