Reply to comment by PeachSnappleOhYeah in TIL that the Convair Model 118, a tentative flying car from 1947, was shelved because its prototype crashed when a test pilot mixed up the flight engine's fuel gauge with the road engine's and didn't see the former run out. While he survived, this killed interest in the project. by ShabtaiBenOron

It wouldn’t be something everyone could do. I’d say you at least still need your pilots license and there would obviously need to be a lot of restrictions
