Agreed. I can't imagine it to be ever legal to open up the wings on the highway. Just way beyond unsafe for other drivers. Like I said, unless this thing can take off vertically, I don't see the point in it.

Even if it was able to take off vertically, and was otherwise practical, imagine if all the idiots that cant even drive on pavement start to fly?

I can't imagine this technology ever truly becoming commonplace--where flying cars replaced normal cars as the primary means of transportation.

The security risks would be insane.
