Here supercar designer Peter Stevens talks planes-
includes a fascinating theory on why the Spitfire & Hurricane look different, why the SR-71 is incredible, the future of aviation and why flying-cars will never catch on:

Read it again. He’s not saying that at all. He’s saying that the huge amount of work that has been done on automated systems “like stability control” will find its way into personal aircraft. We already have stability control in light aircraft (at least I’ve always had it in airplanes I’ve owned). It’s called a three-axis autopilot.
