100 km/h in a straight line for 23 minutes through a dense city? That could be very useful.

The German Lillium concept is slated to have much more range too as it has more lift.

I would say if you want to go across town or just outside to downtown this may be feasible (assuming you have a place to land). The bigger market would be people that are 30 to 50 miles out into the suburbs or country that want that reasonable commute and this is coming up short.

You also have to assume you are probably only at about 20 Km range once you figure in take off landing and acceleration deceleration.

The German flying car Lillium can supposedly travel 300 km (in 1 hour) however I have not seen that tested with pilots yet.
