Brilliant, thank you. If there is not already, as soon as they become
popular there will be a billion rules and regulations.

Flying Cars have existed since at least the 1950s.
My friend in college made a '72 Impala fly. It also had a very
short range however and was badly damaged upon landing.

The three departmental managers and the CEO of Firestone NZ all had
brand new 1966 Impala's which the boy in the sales office was given to
do their personal chores. They would fly when crossing the railway line
in Papanui Road at 80mph and land without a problem, though the range
was short as was height.
