Try to see the future. When we had black and white TV we didn't need color TV. Stick in the mud John has a F150 truck and he doesn't need an electric truck, he says.
Our roads are jammed and the world population keeps rising. Movement of people and goods is causing not only planet warming but also friction, inefficiency and economic impairment.
We surely don't want millions of drones filling our skies, especially the kind piloted by their owner, the way we drive dars.
We slo probably do not want omnibus air transportation, where one waits at a 'station' to board an air drone taxi together with other members of the public, headed to another 'station'. That's communist and we don't need it.
However, an autonomous drone that flies YOUR goods directly to YOU, and another autonomous drone taxi that flies YOU directly from your current location to ANYWHERE you want to go, yes we want this.
We need to liberate ourselves from surface transportation.
Airline travel is unacceptably abusive, inconvenient, uncomfortable and stressful. We have come to accept being herded like cows, disrespected and bullied, and we think it's OK to pay money for this privilege?
I see a future where airlines have gone away. There's an Air-Uber that takes you from where you are to where you want to go. No airport. No TSA. No members of the public in your taxi. Just you and your luggage.
Oh, and the batteries? Yes they were just dropped in your Amazon drone box outside your upstairs window. Theft-proof, locked, unharmed.
The roads will be free flowing once again.
