Why would a different type of vehicle that also flies in the air not need to follow similar maintenance requirements?
The only reason cars and car drivers aren't held to the same standard is because if a car breaks, it just stops moving. If a plane, even just a single passenger one, stops working, it falls out of the sky.
It would require the same maintenance standards as an airplane. Heck, it probably has even stricter standards than a standard airplane because it'll see a lot of ground use. I never meant to imply that it wouldn't. I was replying to your broken down car on the side of the highway analogy, attempting to assure you that flying cars will never be treated with that level of lenience.
