A new study conducted by the University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute proves that some Americans really are eager to live like the Jetsons, zipping around the skies in flying cars. Two-thirds of the 508 adults surveyed said they’d like to at least ride in, if not operate, a flying car; although safety was the prevailing theme, as 80 percent of the people said the vehicles should have parachutes. That’s an important aspect, obviously, since there are still no real rules in place for this gradually-approaching merger of daily transit and personal aircraft, and at least one automobile expert believes humans should focus on mastering their current cars first.

Key Takeaways:
- A University of Michigan study indicates significant American interest in flying cars, with two-thirds of adults wanting to ride in one, though safety features like parachutes are a top concern.
- The flying car industry is rapidly advancing globally, exemplified by AeroMobil's recent unveiling of a new luxury model at Top Marques Monaco.
- AeroMobil's initial "Founders Edition" flying cars are exclusive, limited to 500 units, and priced between $1.2 million and $1.6 million, but the company aims to reduce costs and offer more affordable models in the future.
