Flying taxis are inching toward takeoff...

Question

Yesterday United Airlines paid a $10M deposit for 100 Archer Aviation electric taxis. American and Boeing also invested in air taxis, which aren’t yet approved.

Do you think we'll see flying taxis in our lifetimes?

If we can overcome the energy density problem, yes. There are huge potential benefits for safety and reduction of congestion.

That seems pretty cheap for technology that doesn't exist.

I hope not. People already have trouble driving 2-dimensionally. Adding a 3rd dimension just seems to be asking for trouble.

Technology might get there, but no way in hell they would ever be legal after 9/11
