Flying car stories are like battery tech stories, always one around the corner that's going to revolutionize the industry. Just clickbait based on the glaring lack of technical details.

Anyway people can't avoid accidents in two dimensions, adding another dimension would make that orders of magnitude worse. The only way flying cars can work safely is 100% autopilot. They still can't get autopilots to work without incident in normal cars.
