Please tell me. You're over center of LA. Where's that mythical flat area you'll land on? Oh, and how will you find it through the fog bank below you for miles.

  I think float planes might be an untapped market.

    Right above propeller boats.

  Plenty of roads, rooftops, parking lots and other flat areas. Looking at a satellite map I see mile after mile after mile of sufficiently large plat areas for an emergency. We're talking about a need for a circle smaller than a helicopter pad. And for a VTOL plane that can do a descent as slow as they've shown with their two seater, getting low enough to find them is far less of an issue. But the other thing I'd forgotten is that if it were to run out mid air or you can't find anywhere else: the two seater at least had a whole vehicle parachute, and it's built to be water resistant.
