Will Autonomous Flying Car Regulation Really Free Up Roads? Smart Sustainable Air Mobility, Societal Acceptance, and Public Safety Concerns

Summary/Abstract: Based on an in-depth survey of the literature, the purpose of the paper is to explore whether autonomous flying car regulation will really free up roads. Using and replicating data from ANSYS, Deloitte, Foresight Institute, and SWT, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding comfortability with flying taxis (%), the likely benefits of flying cars (%), reasons urged against the concept of flying cars (%), level of concern with the overall safety of flying cars and with learning to use a flying car (%), level of concern with the performance of flying cars in congested airspace, in poor weather, and at night (%), and level of importance of having a parachute for flying cars (%). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.
