Moller has a whole page dedicated to legislation, but I was not able to find anything related to security and safety. They have a safety link, but it does not go anywhere. Maybe they see the two as similar or even identical.

Their SkyCar plans are a realization of every science-fiction novel or science magazine forecast — personal passenger vehicles that fly. The upsides (pun not intended), especially when you consider the cost and harm of pavement, should be obvious. The downsides….

1. Rules of the road
2. Impact including noise, consumption and emission
3. Insurance and Liability (could you blame a downdraft for an accident? who picks up the cost?)
4. Did I mention noise?
5. Measures of safety (is anyone expected to have a level of survivability?)

But it sure looks cool, and I look forward to the end of the pavement era. Asphalt was a horrible idea, as proven by the ongoing pot-hole and lack-of-timely maintenance culture it created.

As people talk about forcing file sharing users to pay a fair share for network consumption/load, I wonder what ever happened to forcing the largest vehicles to pay a fair share of the space they occupy, the heaviest vehicles to pay a fair share of the pavement repairs, or the most polluting vehicles to pay a fair share of the controls to offset their output.
