You think road rage is bad now? Wait until people start having dogfights trying to get home during rush hour.

Can you use it going to the store, or to your cousin's in the next county over or to Times Square? I think not. So what do you use it for? Rich Boy toy to show off.

Interesting. However, the tag line from the creator had me saying, "Oh fucking HELL NO!!" The tag line is "Everyone can be a pilot". Righhhhhhhht. Just like everyone can be a driver, considering what I see daily on the roads. So now we have to watch for the crackpots above us, not just next to us?

In an empty field it's surely fun. The public is not prepared to pilot these things. This is bungee jumping anywhere you like.

If I had a real need to get to an otherwise inaccessable place, I suppose the Jetson One could get me there.

But really, the Jetson ONE is just a very expensive toy. I've got better things to spend my retirement savings on.

Have the dealer bring one out for a 10 minute test-drive. Then he'll find out I don't have the money to buy one.

The price is, of course, prohibitive but I think it would be cool.
I would however, like to know how the motors work and whether the motors are self-redundant.
One motor of 8 goes out and one dies? But, if 7, or 6 can still result in a safe landing, then I think it'd be cool.

I am priced out of the option, but even if I could afford it I suspect I'd kill myself trying it out. I am too old to rock and roll but too young to die.
