I'd hate to see the amount of paperwork the FAA would require if you automated a Cessna production line.

  With enough demand to produce 100k units per year, that would amortize well too. But light aircraft are a hard thing to sell for really practical reasons. They have a lot of real world limitations for small overall improvements in performance vs ground travel. This might be different for some air taxi services within metropolitan areas.

    They used to be a lot cheaper. Regulatory changes made them much more expensive and reduced demand.
