I have gotten to the point that when a scifi world is made futuristic by having… traffic jams in the sky, and futuristic cities have to have magic sky cars in their skyline with ZERO thought towards futuristic mass transit I just shut it off.

We already have flying cars that people use as their primary vehicle, it is called living in the middle nowhere Alaska and owning a bush plane. The thing is, that is actually the only kind of situation where everyone owning a flying car makes sense, extreme isolation, huge empty distances and no roads.

The whole point of a city is NOT to need something like a flying car.
