Flying cars??? This one always annoys me because isn't that a plane? It's just that most are like flying buses and trucks. So bulk transport.
Unless you can fully automate flying it's not gonna happen. Too many drivers do dumb stuff all the time dealing only with forward, back, left and right. I wouldn't trust many people to be able to manage up and down as well, without serious training, like a pilot does. I think a lot would never be able to learn it at all.
They would also have to be quiet. Planes are so noisy and having them landing up and down the street all day would be God awful noise pollution
