It might be able to compensate for a certain amount of wind, but I doubt it will ever be as safe in high winds as a vehicle that stays on the ground.
Then there’s mechanical reliability. What happens if one of the motors fails? Can the other motors compensate long enough for an emergency landing?
I also wonder what the typical flying time would be. I didn’t see anything about that on the website.
Then there’s the matter of noise. I’ll bet the noise from one of these things is horrendous. In widespread use they’d probably cause obscene noise pollution, and those riding on them will probably need ear muffs.
Just one gust of wind ……CRUNCH

It’s a cute idea, but I doubt it will catch on.
