No, it wasn’t.  Where’s the use case?  I’m a guy sitting in my office 
and I get a call telling me I need to get to X (home or hospital, 
Detroit or Paris).  I know all the tradeoffs of the current solutions 
to that problem.  What is the *actual* benefit a flying car offers in 
a world where everyone’s a pilot, but I still have to go to an 
airport, inspect the machine to verify it is airworthy, take care of 
necessary FAA paperwork, etc.?

A lot of people own a lot of things that make very little sense.  I’m 
not asking about that segment of the population.  I’m asking about 
the people who are more thoughtful about their behaviors.  Can you 
make the case to *them* that flying cars are actually a good idea?
