It will be as reliable as their land based automobiles...................
No need to wonder why GM has gone broke. Investing in flying cars can’t be too reassuring to stockholders. the american auto industry has gone wok and daffy.
I’ve read such stories for 60 years. Not buying it.
"Hey man, I think I'll take my flying Vega to the weed dispensary, and then swing by the liquor store on the way home!"
After seeing the way people drive on the ground, I sure don’t want to meet them in the skies.
I recommend six independent rotor systems, each with its own battery and controller.
Each battery should be able to automatically power the other rotors if the need arises.
Any four rotors should be able to bring the craft down safely.
An emergency parachute should deploy if needed...much like many ultralight planes have.
The rotors should have cowlings to prevent people contacting the blades.
The cowling should detect if an object, such as a hand dips below the top and immediately halt rotation of the prop...this might require an explosive brake.
We will eventually fly for personal transport.
I’m riding with Jane Jetson but I’m driving ...or piloting
Nothing to see here. Society will crash long before the Jetson’s scientific utopia is realized.
