      The most promising are drone (~quadcopters) type of vehicles. But the current issue is the energy it needs to lift you up.
      There exist some individual jet-suit that are using small turbines… but from a safety point of view, I doubt it will be widespread like cars (more like a motorcycles).

      A big problem with all cars, not just flying cars, is that they need a lot of energy to transport not that many people. This is a problem when we have to find alternatives to fossil fuels, fast. Maybe in the future if we’ve fixed that problem there will be a space for that. For now things like bikes and trains are a better idea for protecting the climate. And like Adrien says, making them safe is quite hard – imagine accidents between two flying cars…
