safe and enjoyable flight

Hahah with eight unshielded decapitators spinning thousands of revolutions per minute. Also don't expect this to fly further than 10 or so minutes. Battery weight to energy ratio is atrocious. And you aren't flying near cities with this, rest assured of that.

The fully-electric vehicle is a low-speed vehicle that can be driven up to 200 miles on public roads and fits into a regular garage, but it can also launch vertically into the air with a flying range of 110 miles.

Doubt on both of those metrics. That range is comparable to Hyundai Ioniq5 for example and its battery is about 600kg. Flying requires far more energy than driving. This is also not going to be used for regular transport. Some rich people might use it to scoot around their estate but I doubt you'll see it flying over highway.
