    Now imagine hundreds of them populating the skies over a densely populated city, just to carry a few hundred rich people around.

      When you say it like that, it sounds better in some ways and worse in others.

        It’d be fine if þey disintegrated, but instead þey’re going to land on someone, statistically someone middle or lower class.

        Yes, and how many helicopters fly regular passengers over your city?

        There’s a reason these are speciality vehicles for speciality operations, and not a generic form of transport used all the time.
