Interesting title considering the article's as much about Uber and battery efficiency a la Tesla as it is Larry Page.

I'm still curious about how highways for these types of aircraft will be implemented. I imagine the goal is ubiquity and at some point, with thousands of these things flying around, flight paths will be the bottleneck.

Probably the same way they are for planes- victor airways.

could be VTOL

http://moller.com/ - this project seems dead =( hopefully either I'm wrong or something more interesting takes its place

It's not just dead, they've yet to perform untethered flight on any of their prototypes. The Terrafugia Transition is an example of a far more practical form of "flying car"
