Why is CNET doing a piece on the #7 company on the list? How about a tour of the top ten? That would be cool

I am thankful that there are engineers tackling these complex problems. There are still many problems to overcome but just over 100 years ago people thought it was crazy to dream of flying at all. 3 cheers for the inventors and the innovators!

New York has strict rules for helicopters as a example. They will last until the first one thunders into the side of a skyscraper. No fuel but I am sure a few will have their batteries blow in those accidents. Ever seen a Tesla catch on fire?

They need a monitor and manual mode for those air taxi. Having a monitor outside of those taxis is very dangerous.

I can’t see this being a commercially viable solution, for the first decade or so of this technology it will still be cheaper to just charter a piloted helicopter. It’s cool but I just don’t see this as an option for regular people and it will be tough to get FAA approval in many cities

If your a political pundit or smart. NEVER GET INTO ONE OF THESE DEATH TRAPS! AND WATCH YOUR AIRSPACE FOR SCREAMING DEBRIS… 🙂 ALLEGEDLY. NOT A HACKED MISSLE…
I do not see any automatic or self induced kill switch with fixed deployable parachute…

I refuse this. We all deserve better than this. Stop cramming us on these tiny space with no leg room or comfort. I refuse this future or any where everyone is not provided the same luxury foroney paid. We are still yelling one another you don’t deserve unless you pay more. It’s so stupid legroom and comfort are paywalled in transportation. Have and have not future needs to go.

This development is way too early? 12 motors for 4 passengers is totally inefficient.

Too bulky, and will clogged up the air space. Government and cooperations is rushing us into they’re Hollywood sci-fi fantasies on taxpayers cost.

Noise pollution is a real concern with low flying vehicles, also in cities this would be a nightmare for the AI to avoid buildings and other unexpected tall structures, would only be a matter of time before a major incident. Nobody would or should trust these things until they’re widely tested and rolled out incrementally

I’ve worked with some former military pilots. In cities, especially developing cities, a major hazard that is difficult to detect even for an experienced human pilot is undocumented wires between buildings.

VTOLs have the potential to change the world more than electric cars. Cheap travel, no fossil fuels, minimal infrastructure, fantastic!

This is about as real as self-driving cars. Remember when everyone said that by now, we would all just be taking a nap in the back seat on the way to work? Except for a few pilot test projects in geo-fenced areas, nowhere to be seen. I predicted this, and everyone said I was stupid…

This will take the congestion from the road to the sky.
You talk about crowded major cities, Take off and Landing takes time. Landing zones are scarce.
There is no way this type of transportation will be enough solve traffic. only for the rich.

Just give us affordable mass transit like high frequency trains please! None of this solves traffic for the most of us. It’s fascinating, they are not even showing us these things flying. Just some cheap graphics.

Thanks for watching! Now, the big question: Would YOU get inside an autonomous aircraft?

October 18, 2022 at 8:24 am
Absolutely No Way. Not anytime soon anyway. I think the founders are delusional that they will have the trust of people on such an early-stage tech.

Also, will autonomous craft even be allowed to fly by the FAA or other worldwide agencies? Certainly not in regulated regions of EU, or US.

There already exists a VTOL aircraft. It is called a HELICOPTER.
The problem is not many of us can buy Helicopters like cars, because it is Expensive.
If you can make a Helicopter Silent in a price range everyone can afford, say $20,000, we will see the concept of FLYING CARS become a reality.
Until then, it’s a work in progress.

Pointless idea……..they have been pushing this idea since the 1950s.Its not going to happen as investers have found out..
There is NO LOWER AIRSPACE IN OR OUT OF CENTERS PEOPLE WANT TO BE its all used up. So where is this magic extra airspace comming from ? There s no idea where its comming from in government.
Most of these early investors have twigged early on and are turning their designs to miltary use, emergency use or sold as light aircraft. All of which will require regulation,skilled trained pilots and restrictions in allocated airspace.
So why not use an airline seat its a lot safer…..
