I don't know if this is the article you're talking about (it would help
if you pasted the headline so we could search for it), but here's what
I found:

And other than the never will fly Skycar there is nothing but CGI images of
aircraft. If something was going to hit the market next year one would think
that they'd have to be pretty far along in the process.

Did you watch the Video? Two hundred million dollars? 40 years? Wow. I
wish I could get people to give me two hundred million dollars just to dink
around in the shop on whatever I feel like without ever having to worry
about making it work.

Not to be a pessimist, but it was on 60 minutes this time last year
and they said next year then. It does fly as morrie scheafer flew it,
sorta. See discussion.

And CBS news take on same story.

There's a link on today's MSNBC page to a recent CNN video report about
an "air scooter" that will purportedly hit the market next year for
$50K. It looks like an ultralight helicopter. No mention of aircraft
or pilot certification requirements. CNN is billing it as the solution
to road gridlock, though most of us would probably dismiss that thought
pretty quickly.

(Sorry, copying and pasting the link doesn't work because the link is a
parameter to a javascript routine that loads and plays a video. Maybe
someone else who is more technically savvy can figure out how to paste
the link here.)
