As an ex-future mobility research analyst, I spent a lot of time looking at financial statements and there was very little to see. New entrants in the space had no revenues (and if they had revenues then they had no profitability) and there was very little proof that they would hit their targets.

I have been dreaming about flying cars since I was a child, watching the cartoon “The Jetsons.” For those old enough to remember, the Jetsons were the cartoon family of the future, and they owned a flying car.

Cars could soon take to the skies, creating a potential $3.8 billion market by 2035 for some of the world's top flying car stocks. By 2040, we could be looking at a massive $1.5 trillion market, even $2.9 trillion, according to Morgan Stanley.
