Pennsylvania state senator Marty Flynn (D) has re-introduced legislation<\/a> to legalize flying cars in the state and allow drivers to use them along roadways and in the air. <\/p>\n

Flynn first introduced this legislation<\/a> in the state\u2019s previous legislative session, where it failed to pass. But in a January memo<\/a> announcing his intent to reintroduce the legislation, Flynn sought co-sponsors to make Pennsylvania \u201cone of the first states to introduce this revolutionary technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wrote that though the implications of innovations in urban and rural aviation may not be \u201cfully realized,\u201d there was a \u201csignificant need\u201d for legislation that laid the groundwork for these technologies. <\/p>\n

Across the nation, advanced air mobility \u2014 a rapidly evolving sector within aviation that encompasses a range of innovative aircraft, technologies, and infrastructure \u2014 has the potential to generate new revolutionary transportation options and transform how people access essential services, like emergency and medical services, goods, and mobility across urban, rural, and regional communities,\u201d Flynn wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAs technology continues to advance, the integration of these types of vehicles requires forward-thinking legislation that addresses operating and equipment requirements,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Flynn\u2019s memo also notes that \u201ckey regulations\u201d would outline how operators could register these vehicles within the state, \u201censuring that roadable aircraft \u2013 despite their dual capabilities \u2013 are integrated safely into existing traffic systems without causing disruptions or safety hazards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only two states have so far recognized flying cars as legal vehicles: Minnesota and New Hampshire. Though Florida has not officially introduced legislation to do so, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and the state\u2019s Department of Transportation are pushing<\/a> for the use of flying vehicles in the state as early as the end of next year.<\/p>\n

Companies manufacturing flying vehicles, such as Archer Aviation, also hope<\/a> to make the widespread use of flying vehicles a reality in the U.S. in the coming years. President Trump has also expressed support for flying cars. In a June executive order, Trump ordered<\/a> the creation of a pilot testing program for flying cars and other vehicles. <\/p>\n

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced<\/a> the creation of the pilot program in August. 
\u201cThe next great technological revolution in aviation is here,\u201d Duffy said in a statement accompanying the release. \u201cThe United States will lead the way, and doing so will cement America\u2019s status as a global leader in transportation innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
