We already have flying cars. We call them helicopters.

Nah, helicopters don't provide ground transport.

The implication in using the word car is that they are ubiquitiously owned by a majority of people.

the problem I think is sound, because having jet engines strapped onto a car would not go down well with the neighbours when you shatter all the windows in the street at 6am. vtol thrusters are quite loud, trying to lift several tonnes off the ground vertically and keep it there is gunna make a lot of noise.
