    Like I said another thread when this came up. We don’t need fucking air taxis or fucking flying Ubers. We need money spent on better public transportation. Buses and trains.

    The amount of more fucking parking lot or special landing zones these things will require is space that could be used for buses, trains, or hell bike lanes.

    We should be trying to lessen the amount of traffic on the roads. Not create something to clog up the sky too.

    Also what happens when one of these malfunction or gets in a wreak? Nothing good comes from this.

      Agreed. Seems like it’s just tech bro clickbait to call them air taxis though. I sincerely doubt that will ever happen with how risk averse the FAA is. All that happened was the FAA released regulations on this new class of VTOL aircraft.
