The goal should be to autonomize all travel over 30mph so we all can be drunk passengers.
Great can't wait for super expensive flying Ubers in my area that will require special areas for landing, instead of affordable public transit. /s in case people don't think I'm joking.
We don't need these we need more buses and trains that carry people. These flying taxis wouldn't be able to land on my street or most areas in a city. So where exactly do they land? Imagine taking one to Walmart and now Walmart has to build a landing strip for air taxis. What nightmare this will cause. Not including what happens if there is a malfunction and one these things come falling out of the sky.
I could go for personal quad copters. Imagine leaving work early on a friday and packing up the oll' whirly bird and heading up to the cottage? that would be awesome.
I can't see these being used for anything other than tourism or light general aviation use.. And even then the areas they can fly/land will be so restricted because of how loud they are.
