    And thus the reason we don’t have flying cars. That was two. Imagine the flaming hell that would be raining down if we had commute traffic numbers in the sky.

      You need a fully automated and certified air traffic control first. That’s only been discussed for a free decades now so any time now it’ll arrive. Nah, nobody wants to put in any funding or take on the liability.

      Now imagine hundreds of them populating the skies over a densely populated city, just to carry a few hundred rich people around.

          Yes, and how many helicopters fly regular passengers over your city?

          There’s a reason these are speciality vehicles for speciality operations, and not a generic form of transport used all the time.

        When you say it like that, it sounds better in some ways and worse in others.
