This is nothing new, the concept that one day we would all be flying is still science fiction. These current 'flying cars' while seem like a cool idea, here in the USA, it would be a problem as to where you could legally take off from and land. When an aircraft lands on a freeway, the aircraft can not take off again, it must be dismantled and hauled off. (FAR) (Federal Flight Rules) as a matter of fact, unless it changed, you can not pilot an aircraft over metro areas less than 1,000 feet, rural is 500 feet. Kinda difficult trying to take off and land legally without an airport below you.The exceptions are emergency aircraft, agricultural and media. And you can also have permits to land/T/O from your own property but even then the requirements is almost impossible. Of course, this private property can not be in a municipal area.
I do remember as a kid, my uncle had several acres in the countryside, There was a local farmer that had a 'Gyrocopter' that would land in the field visit for awhile and take off. Pretty cool. Sngle seater so I didn't get to ride. :( But I doubt he ever flew it over 300 feet.

We just don't know what tomorrow will bring. Cars that don't run on gasoline as the majority of vehicles on the road would make me a happy camper. Gasoline is ridiculously expensive here these days.
They are beginning to equip gas stations around me with Hydrogen fuel cell islands. Hydrogen makes more sense than electric with their very dangerous lithium batteries, not to mention toxic disposal. takes a long time to charge them where Hydrogen takes no longer than pumping gasoline into your tank. Also, the exhaust of hydrogen cars is water. Not sure what the future will bring in transportation and energy use but I'm personally convinced it will not be electric.
Most American made cars will actually fly at 170 MPH. However most will fly apart or crumple into a wad of metal. Tornadoes and hurricanes have demonstrated this remarkable ability of flying cars with and without occupants at the wheel. If you really want a flying car you should check with weather folks for the most favorable place to visit.
