In the USA you can keep it at your house if you wish, but you will only take off and land from an approved airfield, be that a grass strip or a paved runway. This sophisticated AirCar will not be permitted to take off, fly and land willy-nilly. There are safety regs that must be obeyed. I foresee the need for a pilot’s license exactly the same as for a Cessna 152 and up, with approved avionics, radios, etc. Not to mention that the machine itself will cost several hundred thousand dollar$. The barnstorming days of the Wrights or even Lindburgh are ancient history. The skies and airways are crowded. Anyone who flies anything beyond a motorized hang glider will need to have proven skills and abide by strict safety standards. Anything else would be pandemonium, with gerry-rigged contraptions falling out of the sky, causing bloody injuries and destroying property. Just my opinion as a former private pilot.
