Larry Page is quietly amassing a ‘flying car’ empire

I'd think "flying cars" would clearly fall under existing aviation rules. Those aren't as strict for smaller aircraft/private use as they are for commercial airlines, but there's still a regulatory framework already.

It would definitely make sense as a starting point. But it has some specific use cases that would require specialized regulation. Anyway, someday this will become a reality and we will see if the rules fit.

For private use the laws where I am are much stricter (and can be broadly summarized as a "short whitelist of places where you can fly").

True. I should have specified that I was thinking more along the lines of safety regulations etc., where generally General Aviation is less strictly checked.
