Borrowed from Ria Misra at io9: What science fiction technology do "you never expect to make the jump into the real world [and] why? (Too complex? Too dangerous? Too expensive to get right?)"
Well, I have to say, I've pretty much given up on flying cars at this point!
In all seriousness, I think we're much more likely to have automated grounded vehicles ("driverless cars") than we are to have personal airships ("flying cars"), because I suspect the lower altitude in which flying cars would inhabit will be filled by surveillance and delivery drones instead.
