I have seen where NASA and the FAA has spent a lot of resources on developing a robotic small plane that can nearly fly itself with little intervention from the passengers, to make them more like cars, than what they are now which require special training and licenses to fly, even as a sport pilot.
I think it would be cool to have a plane in the garage as well, that I could jet off, especially here in Texas where going 50 miles is normal for just about doing anything.
How long do you think we are from really getting small planes to the average person, that could side as a car for getting around?
I have toyed around with some of the kit planes, and the Zenith STOL CH-701 and 801 would be great candidates for cheap, reliable aircraft that could be flown out of short run ways, a plane that I could take off in my own back yard at present. Runs on car gas, and wings can be made to fold. http://www.zenithair.com/stolch701/index1.html
