Reply to comment by Surur in Flying cars can actually eventually become a thing by Jalen_1227

I don’t believe this answer leaves room for a plethora of problems. There are always chances for mechanical failures, glitches or bugs in the software, and many other outside forces. The big problem with flying cars is that IF something goes wrong it’s so much more dangerous than if a car has a similar issue that it’s not really worth it to society to develop. You’re better off with a personal jet pack. And even then, IF something goes wrong, oof.

I believe reliability issues can be addressed with technology, redundancy and sensors, and a good AI overseeing all of that.

Again, it depends how much we trust the process, and as OP notes, of SDC are fully established and reliable, there will come a point where we trust AI to fly also.

As an illustration, we trust pilots to fly helicopters above our heads all the time, and we know how dangerous those are.
