Maybe if the business concept works, they can manufacture a slightly more expensive GT model that can carry a heavier person with the same experience, and a lighter person could go even faster. I don't know how these machines will fit the climate change global fear agenda, but I guess we'll see how it goes as this story unfolds.

Lol

Tall bodybuilders are also disqualified

That's a bigoted statement

This will only be for the mega rich. They will never let the majority of "normal" people have this. The people in power are too afraid someone will fly it into a government building. There is almost no defense against that. This would make it possible for everyone to commit their own 9-11. Non of us will ever own this.

@@benanders4412 Speak for yourself Mr. Ben, air park neighborhoods exist in California with average incomes around 100,000 and housing prices hovering around 900,000. Heck, some of these houses with massive hangars had sold for less than 650,000 dollars a few years prior. You don’t have to be a billionaire to be exited or even participate within personalized aircraft travel. People have been taxiing from their personal hangars since the 1940s. This is just about making short distance air travel ubiquitous. Passive income isn’t rocket science Ben. I don’t know what constitutes “normal people” to you Ben but damn you seem to have a pretty pessimistic view on humans. 😂

Good one……….Bob

there are still a people who don't know how to ride a horse, and so many of them are driving a car

If it were ever made public on a scale like that, it would come default with autopilot.

the earth is flat

Yeah because there was probably a Morrow just like you

Or looking down on their phone texting.

Something happening like that is possible that's for sure, but should that mean we shouldn't continue to move forward? If you aren't one that wants to innovate and evolve then that's fine, you don't have to if you don't want to. As for the rest if us that want to are going to and there's nothing you can say or do that will stop us from evolving. We can respect you in wanting to stay where you are just show respect to the ones that want to move forward.

Drones don’t even do that. This has crash avoidance built it, if it gets to close to an object it stops and if it gets too close to the ground it lands. Again, fly an average cost modern drone and you won’t be worrying about texting and drinking in these

So apparently friend, you don’t have a car that has auto park! My car has auto part & it works pretty darn good! The other thing is, you will recall in the video, they say they have a return to home button just like we have on these model drones nowadays, so I hardly think that’s the problem! The problem as I see it, is it only carries one person & it just doesn’t have enough range to make it a practical vehicle, as where do you charge your batteries when they become depleted? So I like this vehicle & would love to experience flying one of them & I certainly hope they find a commercial market for them, because I think what we’re seeing here is a prototype of a forerunner of a recreational vehicle rather than one that’s used in a commercial business!

@@theodorehaskins3756 They say it is a recreational, experimental, UL category...not commercial since that would take certification in a different category...

@@electricaviationchannelvid7863 Touché!

HELL YES!!! Bad boys bad boys, whatcha gonna do...

@@adampark5768 legend!

???

​@@electricaviationchannelvid7863 It requires too much room, too much noise, too much speed, etc. Relying on air to create your lift and propulsion is primitive, dangerous, high maintenance, expensive, and requires skill and knowledge. Even with increased automation and advances in multirotor aircraft, it's just asking for multiple daily disasters per city. Picture every broken down car you see on the side of the road. Those would all be deaths if they were aircraft. Cars won't be going anywhere any time soon. In the not too distant future, aerodynamics (apart from reducing drag) will be a thing of the past and we'll be using the earth's magnetic field instead, even if it is incredibly weak. The tech will all be silent, solid state, and redundant. You will be able to remove air from the equation altogether. In the following decades it will be scaled down for the masses. I just hope it takes longer than I anticipate because I dread the day I'm camping in the middle of nowhere and a flying minivan lands beside me. Accessibility will be the death of seclusion.

Exactly. People are under this delusion that as soon as this technology is available, they can just start flying.

@@gravityslave5811 IMO this is why should be largely automated flight - shouldn't be able to just take the stick unless you're certified. AI systems would be able to adhere to explicit flight paths, etc (avoiding the most populated areas, compensate for others' flight paths (have then use a unified system like air traffic does today so they are all aware of each other), avoid dangerous circumstances (bad weather, poor conditions (20mph winds is a huge constraint for this particular product), bad/risky landing zones, etc) and the like. This would be the only scalable way to make air flight open to everyone IMO (outside of air taxi with trained operators).

As someone that is involved in Transport Canada aviation department, I am sceptical about these manned drones to ever be allowed to be sold at a scale of wars etc... for very reasons already mentioned in the commets. These things would pose massive safety and liability issues both in the sky and on the ground. They will be implemented on the market to be sold under similar circumstances as Cesna etc... is sold today. Only to people with pilot's licenses etc... I suppose it can be licensed as ultralight which have set of requirements as well, and yes, obtaining ultralight license isn't too difficult... at the moment. As technology changes and new risks are I reduced, so will the licensing.

I noticed that too. Brutal. This thing is awesome!

Popular Science and Popular Mechanics magazine have run a similar story on many inventors like this since the 1970s. So there's reason to question if it will become a thing.

yeah, they should finally consider this things nerv thousands of people at once, for one person having its fun. They may consider prohibit it if its more nervy than usefull. Not that im promoting that, first we look how bad it is, but my feeling says, those things are stressy for others. Imagine streets without cars for a secound, one could walk as drunk as he wanted, those are actually a constant threat. Now this is just even worse, alltho the threat is more "in the brain" . I mean i heard once a Drone, and even from this i feel constantly endangered. I want a free world, so lets let them do, but if its to nervy....

I would like to get one too but it's going to cost a pretty penny between 500,000 to 1 million

What? Can’t hear you!! 👂

Slow down there buzz lightyear. We haven't even perfected going to the moon and back till we do that we ain't going to any planet. I'm not saying I'm not for space travel but let's keep it realistic.

Price is irrelevant. Legislation won’t all you to fly it and unlikely for at least another decade

No, this will never be available in the UK

Around 90-120k USD...

This one is tailored for countryside usage, micro-explorations, search & supply, and so on...

I want to hack them

Just like with cars there would have to be specific path ways where you are allowed to fly this thing. Just like with cars if you aren't driving in the streets it's called off roading. You can't just drive onto someone's lawn because you want to, well you can but that doesn't mean that you should. You can drive a car on a sidewalk but we don't cause we know better. Same type of logic will have to go into these new flying machines.a whole new system of roads would have to be embedded in our society. Just like there are freeways and fast lanes there would have to be designated fly zones where you are allowed to fly over. Cause you don't want these things flying all over the place without any safety precautions. Egen though i want to fly these things myself, I also don't want people to be flying these things over my house.

Any house with some yardspace will do...

Absolutely right. Look at all the regulations around camera drones in Canada.

Atleast no traffic and no sidewalks

I always hear this.............they will be automated- guided by GPS!

Better keep the maintenance schedule up as well.

There are plenty of 6”0> americans that live near Whole Foods. They make it under 200.

Yeah he's being realistic but the same was also said about cars and even though it's true that some have died in accidents involving cars, it still didn't stop us from evolving forward. If ypu don't want to use it and are afraid of what might happen, then simply step aside and don't be around wherever these things may be. As for the rest of us that want to evolve, we have a bit more faith in our own kind and are going to want to try and use it even if there's people like you that oppose. The ones that want to risk there lives should be allowed to and the ones that don't are also allowed not to. So just step aside and let the ones who aren't afraid to move forward. Basically move out the way so we can move forward.

He's not being anti-technology cause if he was he wouldn't be commenting from his device. He just needs to have a little more faith in his own species.

the people that fall from the sky and die will use less fuel in the long term.

@@bradleylatham8184 if you plug it into a solar powered supply maybe but that would mean everything electric is integrated. we would need nuclear reactors for lots of these.

they didn't call it a car? the title is flying cars, one step closer?

It's for fun. Like the children flying the planes with remote control.

@@Scottuz Still not going to happen. We'll see nothing like from scifi movies and tv show. Ppl keep saying "The Jetson" flying car type, but sadly its just a fictional cartoon with made up propulsion system. Maybe sneak to Area 51 and steal them back engineered anti-gravity alien tech. I'm sure we'll get those flying cars like Blade Runner movie.

@Patrick Difference is modern cars are already great, and getting safer and better everyday. Flying cars are still unproven with virtually unknown safety.

@@KB-bh9hp you could've said the same thing about cars before horses and carriages became obsolete.

You are several thousand times more likely to die in a car crash than have a small failure in a plane. I wouldn't worry
