It does sound wonderful, as long as you're the only one doing it. I can imagine hitting traffic, next thing you know there are 5000 heli-cars crashing into each other, raining debris and bodies on the expressway. Not so appealing in that scenario.

I was reading an article on that a couple of weeks ago, and that was the reason stated for NOT having mass transit in the air. We do have the technology, just not the control.
