Flying car may be closer than you think

"Terrafugia expects to have something to take to the conference this summer, though, and hopes to have its first working prototype by 2008 (production models are slated for 2009 or 2010)."

Are they the only people on earth developing the idea? Doubt it somehow.

Interesting, indeed. I wonder how long it will be before we start seeing speeders/flying DeLoreans buzzing over head?
