His idea is not realistic or it would already exist. There is only 1 company doing it in China and Japan right now, and theyre listed on nasdaq and only can go 20 miles with 1 person basically. This idea of the video above cannot be done with 2021 technology of drones and motors.

Well, of course 👍 but only with green electricity and ”driving licences” and dronelike understandings with the rules and upcoming laws in mind

Just 5 more years of improvements for batteries, motors and software will make these much more practical. Their plan for 3 years from now is more for all the legal requirements and changes needed.

Yup, just electric.. and quiet, helicopters are crazy loud

He would need much more advanced batteries than what exists now with other taxi drone companies on nasdaq. Sounds smart, but its not realistic what he is saying, with the tech we have today. You would need multiple battery to go that range, and that requires weight, which requires more batteries. It does not work as of right now, according to weight and drone science of 2021.

I am not bashing, but maybe his company can prove me wrong soon. Good luck, this is definitely the future (pick your spot on a tablet app map and fly there automatically with a tesla jetsons like drone in the sky, ehang their competitor does this already in 2 asian countries now)

It is already working, You might want to do a bit more research. I would suggest with Beta Technologies and Bye Aerospace. And, Ehang (Nasdaq listed) in China have already flown 12000 flights. Autonomously. With people. But hey ho, welcome to the 21st century.

My family and friends use things from these companies every day so I know that these companies will continue to do well.

Why don’t ppl watch bloomberg anymore? It’s because you show amazing new technologies and shit on them on live tv. Concern this problem that. Instead of identifying how beautiful this is. Another major reason is you ppl have no manners. This guy was interrupted a dozens times in 3 minutes. You ppl need to adapt or you will be irrelevant eventually.

Competition is paramount. Abusing each other like the US financial sector does destroys ingenuity. I can’t stand the way bloomberg talks to new emerging technology companies. They remind them how many seconds they have left, they interrupt non-stop. They’re so stuck on the word disruptive they label everything that millennials develop because their share holders are oil guzzling, 0 renewable resource using animals, that are willing to lie cheat and steel from everyone to gain a buck. The personal and environmental cost they are willing to sacrifice for more money is unacceptable. Generation X, generation Z and millennials we will not tolerate this behavior. Wild life, nature and every environmental aspect will not be sacrificed in the pursue of personal wealth. The only way I would sacrifice any of this is if in this stipualtion there is an absolute signed obligation to undo all the God dam damage American Baby Boomers has done to the environment. This is why I fucking hate money. Because of what is represents. I hope #dogecoin will represent nothing but the pursue of happiness and world peace.

2:05 It seems to me they’re very brave to “aim for commercial service in 2024”. That depends on research producing currently unknown battery types with suitable weight and power characteristics.

The first routes are fairly short and well within the capability of current battery technology.

the only important question is, will this be cheaper than a helicopter ride ? If not, then what’s the point ?
Tom Wedgwood
June 19, 2021 at 6:06 pm
Of course it will. Operating costs will be reduced by 75%. The price of electricity, maintenance of electric motors is far cheaper than AV gas and turbines. Operating costs for a helicopter are some of the highest in transportation. Not only is it extremely complex, high maintenance, but high degree of skill needed to fly them. Evtols and electric aviation change that drastically. The most expensive cost will be the pilot and landing fee. It will be like the cost of a Tesla Model S uber ride with a expensive driver & parking place

An array of model aircraft sized electric ducted fans, arranged on pivoting flight surfaces of a basic canard configuration. Nothing exceptional that I can see, and battery technology stuck on lithium.

Planes need waaay more infrastructure to operate and helicopters are obnoxiously loud in their limited use, imagine hundreds of them swarming a populated area.

For those of you that might not be aware, the news anchors have to audio-cue the speaker on their available time during live broadcast as opposed to pre-COVID interviews in the studio

Great company. Bloomberg is not worth the interview
abvmoose87
June 20, 2021 at 2:28 pm
Agreed, if they have so little time for him then dont bother him asking for an interview. Im sure the VP of Lilium got more important things to do than being interrupted by these rude reporters. Hes not trying to pitch anything, they allready got all the funding they need and then some. They allready have contracts to begin operations in select areas in the U.s. And other parts of the world, people are standing in line to do business with them so when he agree to lend some of his time to do an interview with this show the reporters could do him hje curteousy and greet him with some common decency. I get it if its an american vs europe thing but still, have some class ffs.

Well everyone congratulations for this well the charge of it and many of Aventuras ideas and anything that could be possible it is possible that’s only they have is for one at a time that are other to understand that a electric motor electric wire heat the motorboard including battery order those things must be checked again and again and again test test test test test it is a very important that to see the future but however everyone which one is going to be for a policy or is going to be for everyone to get a ride for the goes well it’s a it’s a plane or a taxi from New York and to Los Angeles and someday that if this guy doesn’t it’s more of their inventors more of man and woman have more idea that atrophy that little one now to see a bigger one that replaced over the gasoline airplane engine will be replaced by cleaner of a defilement of electric motor batteries wired electronics and computer stuff everything on it they could be the first wunderkind special and everyone’s going to enjoy to fly it this isn’t make sure everyone that everything has to be of testing first week checking again and again and again including that emergency backup emergency all the connections emergency of batteries and emergency of well if the emergency landing jessicake everyone because you know this already that if you wanted to see the future everyone has to be working together to be United because United data of well from different people different voices different language different of people speaks and especially from people is like how is going to be United and how is going to be the future is going to be better for the good of a Divine moment and for the good of Mother Earth it could be possible everyone because we need a future is much cleaner better quieter faster and even that well how refreshing oxygen that below oxygen in the all the way to the tub and oxygen everyone because it’s time that I love to clean up future of a cleaner oxygen and a cleaner of air everyone needs that anyway
PS everyone I speak English Spanish Spanish to English and a big family of three flags and this is like a big mother is nice it is but everyone should know that well can anyone be United at Focus onto the future
