There is an advanced aircraft engineer at NASA’s Langley Research Center named Mark Moore published a white paper outlining the feasibility of electric aircraft that could take off and land like helicopters but were smaller and quieter. The vehicles would be capable of providing a speedy alternative to the dreary morning commute.
The VTOL—short for vertical takeoff and landing, or more colloquially, flying cars—inspired at least one billionaire technologist.

Airspace is incredibly well regulated, and it would require strong lobbying efforts to add a whole bunch of personal aircraft into the mix. The company would also need to flesh out an infrastructure, which would include "vertiports" scattered around suburbs and cities.
