Like I’ve said I’d rather skip to self-flying vehicles and the advancements that would come from developing them. No pedestrians to worry about, crashes easier to avoid, no mixing of autonomous and active traffic, and faster travel times.

And minor engineering issues leading to missiles raining down from the sky. If we're talking safety, thousands of low-flying objects in dense urban areas is not a good idea in the foreseeable future. And certainly not in public perception.

  Why? How is it more dangerous than 12 lane autonomous intersections?

    When a car's engine fails on the freeway it doesn't fall out of the sky onto my head.

    A car with problems can stop. An airplane with problems can also stop...followed by no more lift, followed by gravity taking over, followed by RUD.

So we need to invent magic to make that happen. Because optimistacally that is at least 75 years away. Wide scale self driving cars is probably a good 20 years away.
