Sadly I doubt it has enough lift to be able to do that. Maybe future models.

I do see some advantages of such vehicles, like being able to pass traffic jams or land on top of buildings, with a vehicle small enough to transport in the back of a pickup truck. Like with all new technology, the first production model is going to be overpriced and underwhelming, but I wouldn't be surprised to see vehicles like this one in use by police departments in major cities around the world in a few decades.
