Aren't other flying cars going to be the dynamic part of the environment? Is what I'm asking
Sure, but we can expect that they will be communicating with each other in a RemoteID kind of way, but with additional information like up to date location and intended motion vector. Also, air traffic is already divided up into different heights for different directions.
Yeah true, I guess if you can enforce that as a standard there's already tons of research on swarming behaviour with drones to work with.
Sure, with 10 competing standards from 10 different companies that don't communicate with each other.
FAA has authority over every outdoor flying vehicle above ground level. I doubt there will be competing standards. RemoteID has been an awful rollout with a lot of miscommunication, but afaik there was never problems with incompatibility. (I'd actually love to see the standard spec) Airplanes already send out their location, been doing it for years. You can use an SDR to listen in on existing airplane beacons and map them on your computer.

It's a good thing that birds aren't real, and already have RemoteID built-in.
