You mean... helicopters? Because they already exist and have limited use cases.
- Eridrus 9y agoNo, I mean the self-flying electric vertical takeoff drones people are building that I'm pretty sure the GP was talking about, eg http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4444874/Uber-looks-soar-flying-taxis-2020.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4444874/Uber-... https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/1/16961688/airbus-vahana-evtol-first-test-flight https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/1/16961688/airbus-vahana-evt... http://www.ibtimes.com/google-founder-larry-page-funding-flying-car-companies-zeeaero-kitty-hawk-2380033 http://www.ibtimes.com/google-founder-larry-page-funding-fly... Etc I don't know how seriously to take all these projects, but they are clearly quite different to helicopters.
