Asked the DOT who would oversee a flying car like Tesla's Roadster. The answer isn't readily clear.

CBS News asked U.S. Department of Transportation officials who would oversee a flying car like Tesla’s Roadster Rocket, but the answer was not clear. CEO Elon Musk unveiled the vehicle as a “flying car” with “ultra high-pressure air tanks,” describing it as the product of Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla says the Rocket model, about a decade behind schedule, would enter production in 2028, and its website notes it is not approved for public road use. A non-flying version can be reserved with a $5,000 deposit, but the full-flight model is by invitation only. A senior DOT official acknowledged no clear safety decision, while the FAA said the vehicle does not meet its definition of an aircraft.
