Autopilot. Just key in your destination. Sue the car company in case of an accident.

Yes. Autonomous flying vehicles are easier and simpler than autonomous cars. Centralized airspace control over urban areas. 100 foot vertical zones for directional change.

All the potential is currently there; it just needs to be put together.

But where's the fun in that?

Besides, a system that could land one of those things safely would likely make the "car" unaffordable and would require major upgrades to infrastructure to accomodate them.
