4 people, 70 miles in 35 minutes. Vertical takeoffs in the works. $8 in fuel costs. Are we finally getting close the what the Jetson’s envisioned 60 years ago?
They envisioned travelling on the Autobahn?

No, that mostly just means the ultra wealthy get this and no one else. Maybe it'll be useful for some other stuff, like critical organ deliveries or something too, but I'm skeptical it does us any good. I'd also guess that being electric is only because it's quiter, so they can fly into places with noise ordnances or something too, but maybe that's too cynical.
