Due to recent technological advancements, flying cars are expected to be introduced in the near future, and to offer flexible mobility patterns, as well as shorter and more reliable travel times. This paper aims to analyse whether a residence relocation trend (from urban to rural areas, or vice versa) is imminent if flying cars are introduced. In this respect, responses of 584 individuals from the United States were collected through an online survey. The resulting data are statistically analysed through correlated grouped random parameters bivariate and univariate probit models, while accounting for unobserved heterogeneity. The analysis reveals that various socio-demographic characteristics and opinions of the individuals towards the perceived benefits and challenges of flying cars influence residence relocation consideration. The findings from this study offer early insights into the travel demand, land use, and urban and regional planning related challenges that may emerge from the future introduction of flying cars.

由于最近的技术进步，预计飞行汽车将在不久的将来推出，并提供灵活的移动模式，以及更短、更可靠的旅行时间。本文旨在分析如果引入飞行汽车，是否会出现住宅搬迁趋势（从城市到农村，反之亦然）。在这方面，通过在线调查收集了来自美国的 584 人的回答。通过相关分组随机参数双变量和单变量概率模型对所得数据进行统计分析，同时考虑未观察到的异质性。分析表明，各种社会人口特征和个人对飞行汽车的感知利益和挑战的看法会影响搬迁的考虑。
