Getting it past US regulations for cars would have to make it too heavy to fly.

My uncle was Dewey Bryan. He build a number of aircraft like this in the 1960’s and died at the Oshkosh airshow when a kotter pin gave way on one of his planes. He lived in Michigan and built the planes in his garage. During the winter he used the lake across the street for takeoffs and landings. He actually had a Michigan license plate on the plane.
He also invented the vertibird, showed it to Mattel who said they weren’t interested. The following Christmas every kid in the country wanted one.

the a-holes in the adjacent lanes would never give you room to extend the wings. forget this in city traffic.

How do you file a flight plan and get it approved in time to avoid that tie-up on Route 66 W?

Most carrier-based airplanes have folding wings, and there have been a few cases where pilots tried taking off with the wings folded. I believe there was a case at Naples of an F8 Crusader, one of the hottest in its day, which got airborne with the wings folded and made it back to the runway. Of course, the 'Sader's wings only folded in the outboard sections.
If this "flying car" makes it to the market, I will bet it will be only a matter of time until some "driver" tries the same stunt.
