Baidu to launch self-driving car technology project 'Apollo' in July

This is actually supposed to come on sale this year: http://inhabitat.com/aeromobile-unveils-futuristic-flying-car-plans-to-launch-by-2017/
I’ll believe it when I see it, but if it does, I’m sure it’ll be hugely expensive and impractical, like all the other flying cars.
The problem with autonomous flying cars (and they would have to be only autonomous for it to work), leaving aside the air traffic control nightmare, is that you’d have to have some system of mandating regular maintenance, otherwise they’d be falling out of the skies more frequently than you’d like…
