"Toyota wants flying cars in time for the 2020 Olympics
It's backing the "Skydrive" car that would soar 33 feet above the ground.
The aim is to get the car flying by next year and have it commercialized in time to light the 2020 Tokyo Olympic games torch."
In the event of engine failure, a helicopter can go into autorotation if there is sufficient altitude to try and save the occupants. A motor or computer failure on a multirotor car would be catastrophic. And these things will be raining down out of the sky on people/pets/residential homes.
And Toyota ground based cars have a stellar reputation for safety, right?
Brilliant.
