Isn’t this something like the 100th attempt at making air taxis happen? I guess the idea is too shiny to not attract new money every decade or so.

Everything with air taxis is estimated to be an order of magnitude more expensive than the ground version. So far it's pretty much like the difference between flying commercial and flying charter. I guess rich people invest in rich boy's toys.
The jetsons dream is what? Living up high because the earth is scorched?
Jetsons had mutant sewer zombies I thought. But, yeah, good point.
