Florida has slowed its $197 million plan for flying cars, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

The language in the state's report was vague enough to leave a foot in the door for continued funding of drone-style flying vehicles.

This wording change leaves future support for the technology uncertain.

No specific impacts on the Tampa Bay area or reactions from local residents were detailed in the report.
