Man I hope this concept never "gets off the ground". I don't trust the average person in a car. Let alone in a flying machine? But it seems like such a waste of a concept. Probably can't use it in most cities, with big airports usually claiming the airspace around them. This one still requires a runway to take off. Try and find the space for that in a city.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I think the main application is for licensed pilots to be able to simply drive their plane home and store it somewhere that doesn't cost a ton of money every month, as would be the case with a regular plane.
Also, you can land it and then drive to your destination, for example. The concept is to replace planes, not cars.
I agree. There is this scene at the very beginning of Back to the Future 2 where the sky is full of flying cars and they risk running into each other because there are no lanes and everyone is driving recklessly. That's an omen! ๐
