Another flying car gets airborne

Now this Rotax-powered one is intended to become a US certified LSA. 195000 USD will buy you one.

So what happens if someone 'rear-ends' you whilst you are on the road? Also, you could hardly park it anywhere. Most of the damage my car collects year on year is caused in carparks. Seems to me you would be better off towing a regular light aircraft with the wings folded.
