People are able to rent private helicopters relatively easily (albeit rather expensive). On the helicopter rental website there is no mention of age. So Randall actally over estimated this one. | | 40 || Rent a flying car || Sort-of || Randall has previously stated that a [[2016 Conversation Guide|helicopter is a flying car]].

+ | This whole issue may be virtually negated if the newly developed flying cars are introduced only as ''self-''flying cars (an off-shoot of self-driving technology but devoid of many of the dangers of navigating roads, i.e. person-controlled vehicles, pedestrians and other ground-based hazards), in which case the age (or even presence) of the renter may be very much more irrelevant than the nature of any route/destination the guidance computer is tasked to fulfill. The question would then be how much a potential passenger would trust pure electronics to avoid all the actual dangers for what is essentially a flying taxi, compared to a human controller who may be fallible but presumably at least has their own fully developed common sense and a degree of self-preservation as well as any requisite training. | ||
