    We don’t have “flying cars” because “flying cars” is what we call aircraft whose use case isn’t practical or safe.

    You can go spend $100 grand on a light sport airplane and get a pilot’s license in a couple months right now. You’ll almost certainly never use it for actual practical travel.

      I know a guy that’s a pilot and while 90% of his flying is leisure, he’ll sometimes fly down to France for his vacations etc in one. Doesn’t own them though, has to pay rentals.
