One of the biggest areas of questions that come up when educating and engaging stakeholders is the regulatory landscape of new modes of aerial transportation. Who, in terms of which public agency or jurisdiction, will be able to authorize and approve of the operations of this new transportation mode?  Who will establish the “rules” by which these vehicles operate, and who will have the authority to enforce those “rules?” While most people are (relatively) clear on how regulations around the use of traditional automobiles are developed and enforced, the notion of localized aviation operations raises many questions.
