Volvo's parent company buys flying car startup business

Terrafugia is already the company that has so far come the closest to making flying cars a reality.

The motor industry currently appears to be fixated on bringing driverless cars to our roads, but some are looking way beyond that to a point where cars might be able to do without roads as often as they can cope without a human driving them. 

For the most part, flying cars have always been the stuff of comic books and fantasy visions of what the future holds for us.
