Before there is a rise in flying cars I think we're going to see the gradual evolution of driving aids (adaptive cruise control and automated emergency braking) into structured automated driving (there is a set lane on the highway that while you're in it your car drives for you) to eventual full on automated driving (you get in the car and say "grocery store" and it drives while you watch the latest episode of 'Ow! My Balls!').
