I've seen a prototype in person. It's spec'd to drive 100mph on land and 40kts on instruments through the clouds with that parachute.
The Maverick light sport "flying car" is simultaneously the most ridiculous and most plausible of all the "flying car" designs I've seen:pic.twitter.com/nUISG9lG1X

(It has the distinction of being IIRC the *only* parachute rated for instrument flight!)

With its roots in a missionary organization, designed to reach "frontier areas" it seems likely to appear in the developing world first

I like http://www.dezsomolnar.com/'s motorcycle gyrocopter!

I like that one too! But this one seems more practical (and - $94k!!)

have you seen the PAL-V too?

I don't want any flying car unless it's the Moller 200 X. Plausibility be damned!
