For air ambulances within metropolitan regions, this sort of solution would be an expensive and inefficient use of current technology capabilities. A patient pod with 8-10 gimbaled, ducted fans roughly 80 cm across could be faster to respond, faster to load, and faster to transport from scene to hospital.

I mean, given that it's touting high speed and range, it probably isn't aimed at that use case. How much are air ambulances used _within_ cities, anyway? I would've thought barely at all.
