Flying cars are entirely pointless. You can't just have unregulated flying wherever you want, or you'd have 2 ton flying hunks of steel crashing into each other and falling out of the sky. Therefore you'd need some organization ie "roads" which would then defeat the purpose of a flying car for traffics sake because there would still be traffic, just in a different place. Can't fly particularly long distance because of fuel requirements, and also there's already planes for that. Cost of operation would be significantly higher because you'd have to nearly eliminate the risk of parts falling off or fluids leaking. Noise pollution would dramatically increase from either rotary, jet or something similar providing thrust. They would be too big needing again, rotors or wings. What's significantly more likely is some form of maglev EV, eliminating the need for consumable tires, noise pollution, weight capacity etc.
