You can't really expect the driving controls to be just as easy when cars are in the air. You'll need something to control your acceleration since you're not on the ground, and you'll also need to be able to move up and down. A simple steering wheel and gas pedal won't do this, so driving will become harder.

Also, if there are any collisions in mid-air, you'll have 2 cars crashing to the ground, and would have the potential to destroy buildings and kill more people. You don't hear of two jets colliding very often since few people use them, but commercializing flying cars would increase the rate of car accidents.

And it would probably use more fuel and will cause gas prices to go even higher.
