How would flying cars be regulated?

Regulating flying cars like the Tesla Roadster will be complex, involving aviation authorities and road transport bodies. They'll need to create new rules for air traffic control, safety standards, noise pollution, and pilot licensing. Existing frameworks for drones and light aircraft might offer a starting point, but a full flight system presents unique challenges.
