I actually think if you ever see anything at resembles a flying car, it will look more like the quadcopter drones you are seeing now, just much much easier to steer / keep stable than a tradition up/down + counter spin system that you see. I'm sure passenger size ones do exist, but I don't think they are commercially available in the way that helicopters are, and it's not something I've seen.
I also think in most peoples view of flying cars, they are imagining something with standardized lanes/routes where you do not need any kind of traffic clearance to hop in a go, which I don't know for sure, but do not believe is currently the case for helicopters? their location does need to be communicated to a traffic controller at present?
edit: didn't even watch the video above. quadcopter.
