The Klein Aircar, a folding wing flying car, received an airworthiness in Slovakia after 70 hours of flight testing. While not a type certificate, it's cool to see one this far along, I would guess equivalent to finishing phase 1 testing on an E-AB. I wasn't familiar with them before I saw the article, but after watching the video, I'm pretty impressed. It's a real deal flying car. I don't know much else, I linked their website below with information and videos.

Story: Flying car wins airworthiness certification

Klein Vision – Flying Car for videos of it flying and driving - and I mean flying - one shot from a camera on the tail looks to be an 80 degree bank, another from a chase plane has the pilot doing a wingover. Definitely not the "look, we can get it off the ground" type of flight.

And a car with wings doing a wingover is just cool to see, when it rolls, you're looking at the bottom of a car in the sky. I recommend checking it out.
