The current regulations do consider density (people, buildings) when designating flight restrictions. Heavier small aircraft have to avoid certain areas because of the extra risk. This kind of single-passenger aircraft is way lighter than a car and wouldn’t be allowed over urban and residential areas, for example. I agree that CHANGES to the existing regulations could potentially add risk, but currently we’re ok and those changes happen slowly and are evidence-based. FAA and EASA don’t use the public as a testing area. It’s not as dystopian as the media might make you think. HTH.
