Yesterday I saw on TV that the Terrafugia guys got approval from FAA to use LSA category with the increased gross weight associated with amphibian LSAs, but the stumbling block right now is the DOT approval for road safety. However, as I recall, the DOT regulations aren't enforced if the vehicle production is less than 200 vehicles per year.
Maybe they will be successful.

or perhaps he's been there before and I just didn't
notice or hear of it. OSH is getting pretty BIG.

This one has been around for a few years. Looks like the
project is moving along quite well. Apparently they are getting very close
to having a marketable item. My understanding is that they still have some
work to make it roadable, accident safety, crumple zones, etc. but it has
flown and I have seen it at Sun-n-Fun.
