Seriesly.
I'm not getting in that thing.
What do you do when you get to your destination? Toss the keys to the valet?
I don't want it near me.

Seeing how many total idiots are behind the wheel of flatlander vehicles, this can only produce total chaos.

It would be handy the next time a BLM protest shuts down the highway.
You could fly over, or shred your way through the crowd on the ground.

Airbus will be flying commercial in Dubai before anyone else. They have a functional prototype already and Dubai has cleared them to use their airspace. They certainly have the funds for million dollar plus EVtols. The Emiraties all get checks from the govt they have some of the largest disposable income per capita in the world.

It’s a Chinese company. If you protest against Emperor for Life Xi it’ll shut off mid-flight.

An air car is pretty much guaranteed to be pretty bad at both driving and flying. Better to have a dedicated STOVAL or VTOL flight vehicle and a conventional car. Gonna be cheaper and almost certainly cheaper. That thing will not by on the market by 2024, at least not in the US market - 100% certain of that.

Once I reached adulthood I realized that flying cars will never be practical as anything more than a rich man’s toy, unless massive technological advances take place. And we’re nowhere near that yet.
They will have to improve by a couple of orders of magnitude before any government will allow tens of millions of them to be in the air at any one time. And even then there are the privacy and other issues of those on the ground.
So dream on.

Enough that there’s not a snowball’s chance in Hell that I’d ride in that thing.

These things are wonderful examples of engineering.
Just because we can build them, doesn't mean we should.
When I fly an airplane and the engine stops, I have a plan.
Helicopter pilots have a plan too when they lose an engine. It's a shitty plan, but it offers them some solace up until the point of impact.
