Exactly, it would in all likelihood take the development of some form of anti-gravity technology for this to happen. As long as aircraft fly by aerodynamics we will not see flying cars in the hands of the general public. Even that Skycar thingy has an "N" number and will require a pilot's lic. to operate if it ever actually flys.
I believe this will happen but not anytime soon, certainly not inside the next 50 years, not likely in the 100 years either.
@ Minitour - it's not a meteorite, it's an asteroid and it's named Apophis. There is a small chance it will hit in 2029, a bigger chance it will hit in 2036 but the probabilities are minuscule.
