Japan's 'flying car' successfully completes first public flight

In a major development, a flying car has taken off in Japan for the first time. The vehicle, developed by Toyota-backed SkyDrive, flew as part of a test flight, marking a big step forward in the global push to make cars that can fly, perhaps even ferry passengers from one point to another within a city one day. As part of the demo, SkyDrive's SD-03 vehicle flew over a 2.5-acre Toyota Test Field, the largest in Japan, for about four minutes.
