The effort, time and money put into just getting a license for one of these would be a lot, not to mention the price of the vehicle itself. More accidents predicted along with noise pollution. Very dangerous if we had cars, people and debris falling from the sky everyday. The fuel/power consumption just to lift off and stay above the ground would probably be greater than idling in traffic with a regular gasoline car. A jet pack isn't all that practical with the same problems mentioned above.</p> I have thought about flying cars before.

not much of what we humans make keeps operating flawlessly.
i'm not interested in a mechanical breakdown while jetpacking at a 1000 feet or being hit by a fellow jetpacker that i don't see coming my way.
even driving a car on the roads now is like going out on a suicide mission.too many drivers throw away the rules of the road instruction manual once they pass the drivers test.
if scientists could make us indestructable then all these toys they dream up could be fun but not until then.
