The thing I don't understand is what's the cost of flying versus driving? in terms of fuel. why not let the things drive late at night on the sidewalk. and maybe then fly only when they have to.

The added complexity of a hybrid flying and driving machine doesn’t really seem like its worth the added fuel savings (if any)
