TechWatch: Did Tesla really just unveil a flying car?

Tesla unveiled a new Roadster electric sports car in Texas, fitted with thrusters that apparently let it hover and turn in mid-air. Elon Musk presented it at a SpaceX-owned facility and showed it driving off a steep ramp, spinning in the air and landing with air jets. BBC technology editor Zoe Kleinman explains why flying cars are unlikely on roads soon.
