It would appear that there is yet another entrant in the (nearly 100-year-old) race to develop a marketable "Flying Car". The article at the link below implies that the vehicle has been under development for at least 3 years and is already in flight test. The only photos that I have found do not make it appear to be very roadable, so this may be some kind of early concept demonstrator. You can't discern much from the profile, but if you look closely at the shadow, you will see what look like long, unswept wings, each with 2 (perhaps 3?) extensions from both the leading and trailing edges with some kind of pods at the ends of each extension. This is corroborated by what appear to be red propeller tips visible at the rear of the aft pods. The article has no technical details to speak of, but clearly quotes folks who say they have seen it fly.
