    15min battery range at 24mph , you’ll only be able to travel 6miles.

    Nope. Keeping my travel options on the ground. As gravity intended. 😂

    For self driving trucks, my concern is that we're not preparing for the economic impact of rendering a whole industry obsolete. There are over 2 million CDL holders in the US, and the implementation of self driving tech will put a lot of people out of work without a plan to prepare for the unemployed. A more efficient way to transport freight would be to improve America's rail network and increase rail volume. Not to mention the safety concerns of self driving tech in general.
  • Wow!!! The future is amazing. I wonder how many more people will be living on the sidewalks in 20 years in the wealthiest country on the planet???
  • @irvingkurlinski
    Fly over my house at less than 500 feet and my surface to air defense system activates. oops
  • @KoldAsHell
    15 minutes of that? And imagine running out of battery mid flight if you are high in the air. Lol
  • @morrisparrish76
    How can anyone sleep at night; not knowing if one of these flying caskets will land in your bed?
  • @Rockingruvin
    The tilt-rotor design is the best, like the Jobi. Using a wing for lift during level flight is far more efficient.

    The 3rd Air Taxi is the way to go. Autonomous. Make it a bus line, with a pre-determined route. Simplify. Don't let customers choose a destination. Pick popular and busy departure point, landing point. Across congested highways. In fact, you can have them fly above the roadway, to minimize time over residences/property.

    Powered flight was a fantasy until 120 years ago. Supersonic flight was a fantasy until about 75 years ago. Then space travel... commercial supersonic flight is making a comeback. The evtols are a solid technology and will be commonplace within a decade or two.

    So much interest on technology.... So little on being better humans to improve on our real purpose on earth
  • @kohl1362
    If only Boeing invested this much in quality flying
  • @woodwage7988
    Your last reportage was MIND BOGGLING!!..l'm old enough to remember the " 6 million dollar man" And have now lived long enough to have seen it's reality, plus so much more..Incredible and Chapeau to all these creative minds making all this happen 👍
  • @BILL_BO_jangles
    Every airplane engine is capable of carrying the entire aircraft, so if you have two and loose one you can still fly the aircraft. Helicopter rotors can support the aircraft and are capable of auto rotation to safety land the aircraft in case of a engine failure. This thing has 18 tiny rotors how many are required to fly, and how many are there for redundancy?

    We might be utilizing anti-gravity technology by the time this thing is available
