I know why they won't release Aerial "cars", look at the number of assholes on the roads today, do you really want them crashing in homes, yards etc. I mean, I want them, I want access to them, and if that means an elevated license (certification) to do so, so be it.
Do more low altitude flying before you clinch any deals. I thought it would be simple and straightforward until a work colleague invited me for a flight in his 2-seater airplane. All went well, but I was quite surprised at the sensory overload in seeing territory from altitude that I only knew from driving around. It turns out that about 90% of what you can see from the air is not what you see driving on the ground. As a result, it was very difficult to correlate what I was seeing with what I thought I should be seeing. He let me fly it for a while, level and straight, which was fine, but the visual overload was getting to me.
