How might current urban transportation regulations and laws be
changed if it had to deal with personal hovercrafts that could
fly up to 10 to 20 feet above the ground? Would they be
allowed at all?
For example, how might traffic/transportation rules be changed
to deal with a hovercraft similar to the Moller International [1]
M200G hovercraft which can carry up to 250 lbs and fly about
50 mph at the altitude of 10 feet . The M200G looks like a flying
saucer and is expected to cost about 450,000 USD. The M200G
reportly gets about 1 mpg using regular gasoline.
Moller International also has a skycar called the M400
in development[2]
