Considering how badly most people drive when only contending with two dimensions of travel, I shudder to think about the results of adding a third.

I just want a hover bike. It doesn't have to climb to airplane heights but be enough to buzz around all year even if the roads are icy.

The only way they would ever make it into the public's hands is with full automation, otherwise it will be a plane and require a pilots license to operate as well as being under the FAA instead of the DMV, and that comes with a much longer list of startup checks then "am I turning the key in the correct direction".
