Compared to a car accident a flying car accident can create 100x damage for participating and/or non-participating passengers/travellers. The factor '100x' is just my guess, correct me if you think I am wrong. Could this be an obstacle for the future success or do you see any solution to this problem?
(This is just what I am always wondering when reading about flying cars)

The damage zone on the ground of a flying car would be point-shaped, that of a rolling car is line-shaped. Shifting risk from bystander to occupant, that's something I could get behind. But that's all just theory given the prototype depicted: with open blade horizontal rotors like that I could never think of those things as anything but killing machines. Even if accidents never happen, the mental image is just too powerful.
