I was so excited about the general concept of the Blackfly. The sheer simplicity of it. Still, the pricing and the abysmal range kind of ruins it for me. Lets hope Pivotal stays afloat long enough to dramatically improve on both.

I think the scary thing is we have been driving for centuries yet people are terrible at it. I worry that these startups are going to be crushed by idiots doing stupid things in them and crashing them if they go main stream. Love the tech and something I’d be personally interested in

TBH Mobile phones were just as limited when they first appeared in the 80s, and AI flight support systems may enable mass use. Amazing work.

Wow, not only did we get UAP evidence, we can also pilot them. Mystery solved.

So then there are still UAP’s out there because none of them match this flying black fly description at all.

Have you been in a helicopter? Use to commute on one to work. This is not like a helicopter

I am a Cessna private pilot and I find these technological advances great! Being able to democratize light aviation is really a noble cause ! Great job, I love it 👏🎉👍

What happens if you collide with another evtol flier?

I’m stupidly stoked about these private multicopters. You have to trust the control laws to keep you alive but they could be the future of personal transport.

Once we have full self driving AI, all of this will be easy and open up to way more people

Just like electric cars range anxiety would be horrendous. Especially if you can only fly for 10 min then have to return. Plus where do you charge it if you cant fly over populated areas. Its a great demonstrator. And with a fuel cell or similar might be a superb compromise. Also, its just me, but i.m not a fan of needing so many little high pitched props. Better with 3 ducted fans that gimble and tilt

Range anxiety is only for people who can’t do basic math….

Can it just fly itself? Then fly away when i don’t need it.

Can someone please explain to me why these few wealthy morons deserve this while the rest of Humanity doesn’t?

AI + Flying Cars = Future
@CJayyTheCreative
November 23, 2024 at 2:00 pm
This is it. When people say we don’t need flying cars because it’s too dangerous they completely forget about the logical structure that AI will provide

Looks like it could maybe land on water? Possible?
@ReubenJohn89
November 23, 2024 at 4:56 pm
yes it can do emergency take off and landing on water 🙂
