The hovercraft was invented by Christopher Cockerell in 1956. He patented it, no-one paid him to suppress it, and large numbers have been built. It is not the hovercar of SF and never will be; it is a "ground-effect" vehicle and can't hover more than about 10 feet above the ground.

Or above the sea ! Many have been used as car ferries, and the Marines love them as assault craft. A vehicle that travels across the water at 100mph and goes right up onto the beach without slackening speed has some advantages.

While there have been prototypes and concepts developed for hovercars, a fully functioning and commercially available hovercar has not been mass-produced yet. The technology is still being developed and tested for safety and practicality.
