Well if you consider fixed airspeed of 30 mph or so as a useful way of traveling by air then yes it is a workable flying car. On a 10 mph wind speed day, then you are making 20 mph over the ground going upwind. I think I would rather take the highway at 70 mph if I intended to get somewhere in the least amount of time.
Powered parachutes are toys for cruising around on warm summer evenings sightseeing. They are not useful for much more than that due to their low airspeed.
True flying cars while attainable, will always be a compromise due to the added weight of the road-going drive system and additional strength required to handle rough roadways.
