No longer a product of fiction (like The Jetsons' personal aircraft), air taxis may be coming as early as next year.
NASA and Joby Aviation are working on a ride-to-the-airport concept. You are their niche market if you would like to get a ride which takes half the time of driving your car, with no need to park the car at the airport, and with no chance of getting held up in traffic. You will be able to order the ride at the same time you buy your airplane ticket.
