Remember. If you're below someone who's flying one of these, you _ARE_ the herd.

@froggy:
They haven't yet. Why would they start when given something more complicated? The only reason that people manage to keep cars on the road is that gravity takes care of the heavy work, and they only have to keep track of Left and Right. Joe Average doesn't _think_ in 3D, and his innebriated cousin doesn't think at all.

2. Hybrid electric????? never happen... batteries are too much dead weight (more dead wight = less useful load) and no aircraft can afford the weight of unused powerplants and oversized generators. BTW... no mention of hybrid powerplants on their website.

3. These guys want investment money and they haven't even built an R/C model to wow the suckers into opening their wallets?

Exactly. Every time I hear about how we're going to have private flying vehicles instead of road-bound cars, I consider the following:

1. What happens when (not if) you run out of gas midflight?
2. What happens when (not if) you suffer a malfunction midflight?
3. What happens when (not if) some dingus gets behind the stick in a state of advanced inebriation?
4. What happens when (not if) some waster of oxygen is drag racing across the sky, and all three of the previous instances occur simultaneously?

Most people can barely handle driving in two dimensions. Adding a third is just going to get innocent people crushed when these start dropping out of the sky.
