Well, we would be if this was ready now, which it isn't.

Good to see some investment in this kind of thing.

In truth, I want stuff like this- but I'm not sure that driverless cars will happen by 2017.

I want my jet pack and hover board just like Tomorrow's World and Back to the Future promised damn it.

I wouldn't set foot in anything that the public are allowed to take into the skies unless it was completely computer controlled, 100% automated, with a trial period of at least two years with a perfect safety record AND a parachute.

Christ, most people can barely control a small car on a straight road properly, never mind take a vehicle to the skies without smashing into each other and raining bits of flying car and dismembered bodies down on my head.

I'm up for a driverless car, as long as it runs between my gaff, and any establishment that serves alcoholic beverages. If you had one with a bog in it, that'd be even better as it would save you having to stop for a piss on the way home.

@Chillidoggy, don't worry, like all public telephone boxes, they'll  be  have public toilets.
