Think of something like the Blackfly but with actual range. You won't need to drive it anywhere since it can go from parking space to parking space, in theory.
Flipper you're not alone with this thought, I was interviewed by a UK company 3 yrs ago and their concept was an autonomous drone that flew around picking up and dropping off cars as needed. Declined the offer as their grasp on reality of design/manufacturing was so far away from their ambition

Fly cars like Hopflyt seems to have a bigger parked footprint than 2 cars while carrying half the people. How does that work when you want to park in a city office car park?
