PAL-V One - Flying Car / Trike / Helicopter launched

Same reasons why this will fail still persist:
1) Need extra license (those aren't cheap).
2) Too dangerous for it to be common as a car (thought road crashes were bad? now take them to air).
3) And the worst, you still need to drive to an airport (and you even have to get out of the car to help it change to flight mode).

Really hope its an April Fool's day prank.

in order:
1) that's correct.
2) this doesn't really apply, there's rules to flying to prevent most, if not all, crashes, how many times have you heard of people with a small plane for personal use crash?
3) technically, you don't, you can have a grass strip in your backyard, then again, (it has to be a somewhat big yard) but from the video it didn't look like it needed much running to take off with it.

main problems with it is the cost of "getting it to fly"

edit: what i'm most interested on hearing though, is WHY it doesn't spin sideways, like helicopters without a tail.
