@densmore4 I totally agree. It's dangerous for us, regular people, to drive cars under normal circumstances, let alone fly them. So the safety issue u=is utterly important. Nevertheless, technologies like TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) could prove very useful in such circumstances. Finally, it's up to the manufacturers, clients and Aviation Authorities to regulate these matters. The idea is brilliant and i hope to see flying saucers fill the skies rather than see cars filling streets. As for the fun part, as we in aviation say, "the sky is the limit!"
