That all there is to it really. We're waiting for tech for an ad-hoc automated "highway in the sky" system to be tested and approved by regulators. Without that all a "flying car" will get you is basically a helicopter that can't go very far and still requires a pilots license.
It's not harder than or much in common at all with "2D" self-driving cars though. Autopilot with self-landing has been around for decades. I think it's probably much easier than self-driving cars.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s I used to watch a show called beyond 2000. It was about future tech that was coming and they did a show in flying cars. Also on a solar powered car. One episode from the late 80s nailed the smart home
We're barely cracking into 2D automatic driving cars, the 3rd Dimension has to be 2 decades out at least.
Because fuck allowing any asshole to have access to flying cars they can control themselves.

Those of us with enough brain cells to acquire said pilot's license would benefit.
