Certainly ?you do not expect the sky to remain off-limits to average

Why not? I expect this. If people ever venture into the sky en masse it
will be in fully automated machines with all of the humans as mere
passengers.

The idea of millions of flying cars being driven around under the control
of average joes is a nice vision but I have no expectation that it will
ever happen.

Small aircraft under human control were, are, and will remain a travel
tool for wealthy people and recreation for the merely well-off.

I wonder if a similar statement was made about automobiles in 1900.

In 1900 working automobiles had been around for 12 years if you count the
1888 Benz Motorwagen.

In 2008 working airplanes have been around for over a hundred years.
