    We've had those for decades. We call them lawnmowers. Or weed wackers...

    It's basically just a big drone with seats in it.

    Society isn’t ready for this.

    Drunk idiots crashing into houses.

    We need a set of guidelines and principles which people will actually follow if we want to move personal mass transit into the sky.

    It is THE answer to traffic issues. It is inevitable, like the rotary phone becoming the iPhone.

    We just need to like… Develop our understanding to get to the point where we could pull it off. Some people probably shouldn’t drive, and some people definitely shouldn’t fly.

    These will never legally fly over neighborhoods IMO. They are far too noisy and the safety concerns are insurmountable.

    See Kobe Bryant. Rich beyond imagination, professional piolot... Didn't matter.

    I’m sure insurance on these will be cheap. You might fly this into a house and kill five people but for $15000 a month you’re covered

    The military will have these before the public will.

    Then the military will give their old/surplus ones to the police.

    The public will only get a driverless/AI-controlled version at the earliest 10 years from now.

    10 years into the future is too far out to know with any kind of certainty what's going to happen.
