You can't drive a helicopter down the freeway. You can't land one just anywhere.
You can't with this car plane either, a runway that gives room for the wings and tail to extend AND to be out while moving forward up to speed or landing will be necessary.

So do cars and trains! They easily take people to the airport, where you can conveniently park your helicopter between uses.
That would be widely more practical though.
