We have flying taxis. They're called helicopters and they're pretty much exclusively used by very wealthy people for commute-type scenarios. What is yet to be shown by any of the "giant drone" prototypes I've seen to date is a realistic cost projection showing a ~10x reduction in comparison to a helicopter with similar safety levels within the next 10 years. I have also yet to see how these aircraft will deal with FAA regulations - a flying car is great in theory until you're subject to all the same rules as normal aircraft.
