hover cars

Airborne personal vehicles

Hover cars are hypothetical vehicles that float above the ground rather than rolling on wheels, a staple of science fiction depicting future transportation.

The concept implies smooth, frictionless travel free from road surfaces: In the movie, hover cars zipped through gleaming cityscapes.

Despite decades of futuristic predictions, practical hover cars remain elusive outside fiction and experimental prototypes.
