Landings under autorotation (especially unplanned landings under autorotation) are still frequently considered “controlled crashes”, even if everyone walks away.
In any case the one common element to “flying car” is that it’s a hybrid land-air vehicles. The currently most common form are multi-rotors; because multirotors are cheap. (Which is also the reason you see them in quads and other drones.)
No matter the design, they all suffer from hybridization. Things that are good at flying are bad on roads, and things that are good on roads are bad at flying.
