Flying cars, despite being a symbol of a scifi future, are actually a pretty bad idea. Driving on wheels is much more energy efficient than flying, and without the risk of acting like a kinetic weapon if the battery cuts out.
I'm all for innovation, but I do think it's easy to get the wrong end of the stick with scifi and focus on the aesthetic over the social conditions.
