In this case the dedication factor is "Improve skills of average driver to the level of skill required by an airline pilot" (not an airline pilot driving his car, an airline pilot doing his "day job") and the time factor is "wait until that happens".
Subverting the dedication part using a highly reliable software solution is acceptable (self navigating carplanes).
Once you've got that down you've solved 90% of the flying car problem. IMHO of course.
EDIT: Of course - the real "end run" around the problem would be to answer the question "why do you want a flying car?" and address THAT instead of building a flying car. Would someone want a flying car if teleportation was available? I'm guessing "no".
