hover car

Airborne road vehicle

A hover car is a vehicle that floats above the ground rather than rolling on wheels, typically appearing in science fiction as a futuristic mode of transportation: The hover car glided silently through the city streets.

The concept draws on magnetic levitation or antigravity technology, though such vehicles remain largely fictional outside experimental prototypes.
