Tethered bottle caps have been a thing since the 1980s, the EU is just mandating them. That's not particularly innovative.

The technology to make cheap flying cars has been around since the 70s. It's just that... well... you know how bad drivers are on the ground, imagine how much worse it could get if you added the Y-axis

we have flying cars. They've been mass produced since the 1940s. They're called "helicopters". The training to operate one is slightly higher than that required to operate a car. Because of that Y axis lol.

Helicopters are WAY harder to operate than to drive a car. It's not because of Y axis, helicopters are much harder to pilot than planes as well. It's sort of like performers trying to balance spinning plates on a stick while someone pushes them on office chair.
