This is the very good advantage for flying cars and for the first time, normal people can buy this kind of vehicle. The major problem with those cheap airborne vehicles is about legislative. The person, who wants to fly those vehicles must have flier's license, what is a quite expensive investment. But those flying cars might take the price of that thing down, but when we are thinking about those cheap airborne vehicles, the technology, what is used in them, have been in use about 20 years. And the term "flying car" means V/STOL (Vertical/ Short Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, that can be as easy to buy like automobiles.


Some of that equipment would drive on the road like automobiles. But there is a couple of problems with those vehicles, and one of those problems is that they can be used to replace combat helicopters in some conflicts. And if somebody makes the decision to equip those vehicles with machine guns, would the result be deadly, and many so-called "third world nations"  might have thoughts, that those "flying cars" could be used in military missions. Those vehicles can use advanced autopilots, and GPS equipment, but if the autopilot would be cut or get malfunctions, would that cause the situation, where the pilot might need to take control, and if the flight skills not found, would results be catastrophic.


Those advanced autopilots and flight control computers use cameras, GPS and GSM-data to communicate with computer centers, what can control the traffic in the air, but if the system would get the malfunction, the flying car can turn dangerous, and if it hits some airplane, the result would be devastating. But flying cars can be used also as replacers of cranes in building sites and those air vehicles could also replace helicopters in many missions, and if they are equipped with the group convention, can they work as a group, that means they can rise very heavy elements from the ground. And this means that they are not toys for some rich people.
