You can fly
If you drive fast on Freeway, do you automatically fly? lol
Not in AZ
Not in Arizona unless you want to be a caged bird.
The idea...
...came from a 1950 issue of Popular Mechanics.

So, when I get mine do I need the street or aviation version GPSr? Or maybe one of each.
Flying Car
There is a flying car. It is called Aerocar. I have seen two. One was at the Pate near Fort Worth but is no longer there.
The other is at the The Museum of Flight located on the grounds of Boeing Field, the major non-airline field in Seattle. This one was in production but not enough people bought it. My husband would love one!!
Edit: Google Photo aerocar and you can see the car.

Flying car would be the answer to red light cameras!
If your at a red light that has a camera, you can do a vertical take off over the intersection and land on the other side.
Unless they started to use something similar to this azmith elevation and skew camera mount:

Why bother
If your at a red light that has a camera, you can do a vertical take off over the intersection and land on the other side.
Why bother, you could fly through the intersection right past the camera.
Interesting point
What is the minimal altitude for being caught speeding ?
What I mean is, when I'm flying I'm not subject to driving limits, right ? And I also need to be going fast, if I want to be flying !
And to take this one step further, am I supposed to stop flying at a red light ? That'd be like hovering, but what if my rig doesn't do hovers ?
