      We do have personal air vehicles that are capable of door to door transportation by both ground and air. The term “flying car” is often used for such readable aircrafts.

      They do not have the powers of stuff appearing in science fiction.

      I am sure the existing flying car technology will be improvised made better and more successful in the coming years. Many research and development based automobile companies do work in this area.

      Oh I really hope so!! I’d get a car that looks like the one from “Back to the Future!”. Its a good question.. and there are people working on various designs. There is a design with fold away wings and a propeller. This means that we are actually closer to flying cars than you think. The problem is safety… what happens when people run out of petrol? what about pilot training? what happens when the skies get so busy that we crash into each other? So flying cars are possible… but difficult to have in reality.
