The NHTSA estimates that there are 16000 crashes per year in the US caused by drivers confusing the brake and accelerator pedals. A huge chunk of these do end up with the vehicle inside a building.

> An airtaxi crashes down from a hight and speed. They will crash into and through your roof or into a street or directly into humans.
The odds of a SUV driving into humans is far greater than the odds of a falling airtaxi hitting anyone.
SUVs end up inside stores every single day because of unintended acceleration on parking lots.

>Either it is so niche that it doesn't add any benefit to our society or it becomes so normal that air space pollution is a real issue.
The “airspace” is very big 3D space that can simultaneously accommodate thousands of flights over a city before congestion becomes an issue.
- Deritio 4y agoNow scale that up to a number which actually makes any difference and your SUV argument falls appart. And yes it's totally valid as well to not allow it at all if only a handful of other people can benefit from it. We are the people and I don't care if a rich person wants to do that. My airspace is more important than that one rich person.
