Most people can barely handle their car on a straight highway, I'd sure hate to see them trying to pilot an aircraft. A lot of destruction would ensue.

It isn't the first flying car. It could potentially be the first flying car that gets some bit of mass production and utilization. We shall see. I won't believe it until it happens.

I like the Pal-V One:

I think the goal is to have the computer do all the work. Besides we need a little thinning of the herd.

Makes it sound like private mass-transit if that were the case. My commute headaches would be gone if I could fly the 60 miles to get here instead of driving. I'd imagine landing would probably be a problem as dropping out of the sky into spot would be a hard thing to expect. The ability to handle such a thing alone would make it either very rare or extremely dangerous.
