Now, when anti-gravity is finally perfected....

Just a few engineering problems to be solved.

What was the cost? I didn’t bother watching the video if that is where they mentioned a price. 8>)

Good catch. As a young man I wanted to buy a Benson, and based on my recollections, that thing is exactly what you described.

This is also billed as the first flying car, which not true at all.

I think a more practical platform for a modern flying car would be designed similar to those little drones that have 3 or more horizontal props. They could be hanging outboard on booms, and when in the car mode brought in closer to the cabin area.
