12 year old me would be so stoked.
46 year old me thinks this idea sucks unless they are silent and self driving.
Everything I've seen so far was more like a flying trashcan that makes an infernal noise. Flying individual transport is such an idiotic idea.
Such a bad idea, in so many ways.
It seems that there are so many small companies in this space, but not one bog player emerging. Why is that?
My guess: It's the kid dream: a flying car. But the reality, with regulations, bad drivers, limited landing points means it's not seen as as money maker. More a rich persons toy. And few sales. Flying car = not a great car and a worse plane/helicopter.
