Something else to consider - autonomous flying taxis. Joby and Archer are working on eVTOLs to whisk people around the city or get you to the airport - above the congested masses and freeways. These will be piloted at first with a human at the controls but ultimately the goal is for pilotless vehicles. Would you get in one?
When flying cars or robo-aircraft are common, we will have to have a rider on our homeowners and automobile insurance policies to cove us for aircraft crashes into our houses. Hoping the limits on the aircraft policies are enough will not be a good thing.
