VTOL cars? They better be silent, true anti grav and failsafe otherwise death will rule the skies. This does sound melodromatic but at the current state of the art the best way to achieve this is tilt rotor ducted fans which are VERY NOISY!
Imagine the noise when these A/C all start up in the morning to get to work in these new cities where they will land en masse. Imagine the foul moods all this noise will put people in, people with firearms.
Imagine what an RTA with these would be like, not survivable at all.

The only decent tilt rotor design is one invented by Westland helicopters, their Project Zero which can glide if power stops, and just the rotor tilts. http://www.uasvision.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/AW1038-Project-Zero_3.jpg
