The AeroMobil 3.0 is gas-powered and has wings that fold, which allows it to be parked like a car. Of course, the 20 feet long, the air/ground vehicle would need lots of special parking lot space, as well as an entire new set of regulations and safety rules for taking to the road and air.

Now the once-busy facade is a rest stop to a homeless wanderer.
