Man, on the one hand, having flying cars would be freaking cool. But on the other hand, I know the average person is absolutely not responsible enough to take proper care of it, and many more not capable of flying without crashing into a building or something. So it's still going to be relegated to the wealthy for the foreseeable future.
We have flying cars already. They’re called helicopters.
They’re not widely used because flying is hard and extremely dangerous, and thus requires a ton of extensive training and licensing which also makes it very expensive.
We will never ever reach a “Jetsons” point where everyone is just flying around their own little sedans.
