Ahem.

Also, require people to get a pilot's license for manual operation in case the system fails.

That'll keep the numbers way down. Few people have the 45k-60k to burn for schooling just to be able to pilot a flying car.

Edit; That's a for a professional pilot, a personal seems to be about 6k-15k.

Hmm. I wonder if the price is only because of the small number of people who do it? Maybe just teach the skills needed to land the thing safely...

There would be a need for fail proof safety features to prevent flying cars from crashing into buildings.

But I don't even trust regular car drivers. I think we still need to improve that system before we even attempt flying cars. Like harder tests, a system installed into cars that detects when people are using their cell phones and then charges them fines, stuff like that.

Yeah, I'm with McAvoy. Regular driving's screwy enough with two dimensions. You wanna add a third?
