Not that it particularly matters but both "house" and "work" appear to be isolated villa's in the country somewhere (definitely not in Sweden) probably in central Italy (from the trees and general landscape I would venture to say Tuscany/Umbria/Lazio). I mean, the flight video is nice, but this "commute" seems to me very unlike what most people experience daily.

Agreed. The videos is actually relaxing to watch as he's flying over orchards and ravines and their "work" destination happens to exist in the same plush green continuum as the rest of the flight. This work destination also conveniently has an isolated ground level helipad. I would also be curious to know what the noise is like. You couldn't tell with the music playing. I wonder if that's intentional. I looked for the db/noise rating in the specs on their site but it wasn't listed. I imagine if you lived in that serene country setting and someone was buzzing your property in their Jetson hoverbike you wouldn't be too thrilled.

  Depending on where you live flying a vehicle like this will require that you maintain a certain distance from people (500 feet in Canada), which would do something for noise at least. Thats probably why the flight is in the country side actually, they probably are not allowed near a city.

I was just thinking to myself, that if my commute looked like this, I would probably not commute.

My thought on most people not having this commute is specifically because we don't currently have fling cars/vehicles like this. I hear Elon Musk made a quote something about nobody wants flying craft all over their heads, but thats the point of the flying craft. Most people live near high density centres because transportation on land dictates but if we could go up we could have more greenery and spread out a little. 2 cents
