Flying taxis move closer to takeoff with issuing of FAA rule
Federal regulators are giving a strong push to electric-powered air taxis by issuing a final rule for operating the aircraft and how pilots will be trained to fly them
Oh cool! Now we can have drunk drivers on land, sea, AND air!
Next up, drunk astronauts!
The goal should be to autonomize all travel over 30mph so we all can be drunk passengers.
Great can't wait for super expensive flying Ubers in my area that will require special areas for landing, instead of affordable public transit. /s in case people don't think I'm joking.
We don't need these we need more buses and trains that carry people. These flying taxis wouldn't be able to land on my street or most areas in a city. So where exactly do they land? Imagine taking one to Walmart and now Walmart has to build a landing strip for air taxis. What nightmare this will cause. Not including what happens if there is a malfunction and one these things come falling out of the sky.
I can't see these being used for anything other than tourism or light general aviation use.. And even then the areas they can fly/land will be so restricted because of how loud they are.
I could go for personal quad copters. Imagine leaving work early on a friday and packing up the oll' whirly bird and heading up to the cottage? that would be awesome.
