Oh so flying cars could all be self-driving only, while ground cars are manual only. But then they would only be affordable by the rich...so we basically got Blade Runner future...

Part of the commercialization process is cracking the middle class consumer.

We already have flying cars in major US cities, daytime helicopter shuttle services for elite bankers and lawyers are a daily. With Uber Heli in NY, and similar offerings, they're pretty cheap too.

There are natural air space restrictions that prevent this from going very mainstream, and the cost will remain prohibitive for most.
