Car means anything anyone wants it to mean and doesn't need a dictionary, as it logically includes all the things called cars, like I said. It especially doesn't need a definition from a dictionary that thinks "meter" is a unit of mass.  (Ref: dekameter)
Again, it HAS been proposed, in the incarnation of the Moller Skycar, which vehicle, as we began this, has been smoke and mirrors for four decades and millions of dollars of other people's money. The fact that it "can't" work is a good part of the point.
