Its pretty cool but its not like its a flying car in the sense of a production car/aircraft. And even then it's like temporary flight.

Edit: another user in this comment section said "This is not a flying car. It's a falling car. It's good at falling though."

I think the downforce fans themselves are notable and pretty impressive however. It's like a McMurty

It would be interesting if they could add the RCS to the production model and have it solely as a "safety" feature if you fall off a cliff or need to break or something. I have a hard time imagining how you would integrate the flight control systems without designing the whole vehicle around it, so maybe it could have some "automatic landing" program.
