I heard Elon Musk speculate about the feasibility of flying cars a while back. (I believe on his Joe Rogan interview?)
Musk thought they would be too noisy & kick up too much air to be feasible for use in urban & suburban areas. NIMBY-ism and a majoritarian desire for peace & quiet would make them impractical to roll out at scale.
You just have to build a propeller which produces relaxing brown noise.
Other naysayers like to complain that “most battery technology right now isn’t ready for anything other than short hops”. The solution to that is also simple: Put battery replacement/charging stations on top of every building. You’d make a series of hops from one battery station to another on flying buses. The entire thing would be run by Lyft, naturally.

Oh no! You totally got me!
