Google's Larry Page reportedly backing flying car project to the tune of $100 million

Reported designs of flying car projects backed by Larry Page

It's 2016 and many of us are still amazed that we don't have flying cars but Google's Larry Page is hoping to change that. The founder has reportedly invested $100 million of his own money into making this dream come true.

Page, who is CEO of Alphabet which owns Google among other companies, is no stranger to moonshot projects but as a report from Bloomberg states, Page seems serious about getting flying cars made. With electric vehicles gaining popularity and with autonomous drivng technology coming as a result of this, flying cars aren't that far behind. Page is apparently working with two companies.  Zee.Aero, one of the reported companies, is apparently based out of Mountain View just minutes from Google HQ.
