    which insurance companies will cover these vehicles?
    what will the policies go for, cost-wise?

    !I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.

    I feel like Toyota is consistently off here. These helicopters will not be welcomed in our cities in any sort of volume.

    I have suggested to some workers at Joby that they should have a safety design. I wish I didnt sometimes…

    First of all your in the sky at high altitude and the unexpected happens…

    What would happen if you were landing full force from a few thousand feet?

    Basically it’s not safe at all and even small commercial airplanes could use a parachute design for free landing.

    Sometimes people’s safety is key in design.

    Joe Ben is smart to not answer the most obvious question of “when”. The FAA is in control of that now. If you state that you will launch service by a given date you will have people suing you left and right, up and down, people will only want to invest the week before your launch date, not now, will be screaming at you each day for updates, etc. Best to set milestone to reach and progress and show how transparent they’ve been to date about progress.
