The minute the skies are opened to every doofus who can fog a mirror (the same way our roads are) I will no longer be able to enjoy it - it will be ruined permanently, much as the "driving experience" has been ruined for those of us who used to love it.

This is still a loong way off. Even if technology does produce a "flying car" that a moron could get in and fly you'll still have to be a licensed pilot to fly in the National Airspace System. It might even be a Sport or Recreation license at the least but you'll have to be certificated. That will (hopefully) rule a lot of idiots out.
