im curious as to how they plan on regulating these.. i mean it would be weird to have a car pass you on the highway only to take off in front of you...

or land in front of you!

or will they be required to take off/ land from airports.

texting while flying... omg

How is this the "World's first" when there have been flying cars made before?

I doubt you'd be allowed to take off from a standard road.

Until repulsorlift technology arrives around 2039 I'm sure there won't be any taking off from roadways, especially in cities. There are powerlines crossing roads when you least expect, not to mention low bridges.

under current air law in the UK it is illegal to land a light aircraft on a public highway unless in an emergency so the "flying car" would be illegal over here and pointless unless the law is changed.

and to be ****ing honest, it would take people with an extremely high aptitude for flying and Airman-ship ( navigation knowledge and air priority and airspace laws correct RT etiquette and understand and be able to carry out tower instructions) to obtain a pilots license in 20 hrs.

they must read NOTAMS and carry a navigation map by law if they travel more than 5 miles from their airfield.

there will be a lot of air incidents in the future, any ****er can fly but not everyone can be a safe pilot with great spatial awareness and look out.

Who will stop you? I can promise I'd avoid a ticket or two. Don't want to press my luck, you know.
