So you order a flying car to take you from A to B, where you've chosen a route that you know flies over your target (presuming big populated targets aren't routed around automatically). Then you load explosives on-board instead of yourself, along with a real time video streaming setup so you know exactly when to trigger the bomb (since at 200 mph you have a window of maybe a second or two). If all works perfectly, you drop the vehicle into the bleachers, killing maybe a dozen people max?
I guess I don't feel that this will be the reason flying cars aren't adopted. In my mind, the barriers are almost entirely economics.
It's worth mentioning also that there seems to be a plan to have pilots for these programs in the near term. Take a look at Uber's Elevate concept video, there's a pilot on-board.
