As for the flying cars - probably best that they never worked ...
there'd be flaming junk falling from the skies almost constantly.
People suck even at 2-D driving.
The point being, they’re almost completely automated -- they’re cars after
all, not conventional aircraft. Possibly even no conventional controls:
just a screen, perhaps, for you to enter your destination, and leave all
the actual driving to the car itself.
The one that could really need to chaos in the skies would be personal
jetpacks. Traffic control would become impossible.
Hmm, I half-recall there was an SF short story along exactly those
lines ...
