I find it difficult to believe the majority of people likely to use the service would fly in a pilotless air taxi. Of course that could change over time if safely operated for some period.Government wants flying taxis to take off in 2 years

It wasn't that long ago two driverless taxis (cars) hit the same truck, although thankfully neither cars were occupied. A flying taxi would be much more complex, and any accidents less forgiving.

No way I would get in a driverless care much less something that would leave the ground. I'm with you on this one...can't see many takers on this option.

Why the heck can't a human pilot them? It is far too risky, otherwise.
I was all in until I realized it would mean no pilot. I wonder how they could lift up to 5 people, seems just like a helicopter to me. Still if they work out the bugs and nobody died after a year's use, I would try it for sure.
