...you mean a missile?

Yeah. That’s exactly what a cruise missile is and has been for decades.

Yes, but ones that his company makes and he gets to profit from. It is the classic "tech bro" play. Come to market with some overly complex solution to a problem that has been solved to most peoples satisfaction for decades, claim you are disrupting a stale market that is not meeting the needs of the consumer, ignore any and all existing rules and regulations so you can undercut the existing competition, then bitch when those rules and regulations catch up after you have driven out the existing competition and made obscene profits.

Tech bros are simply middlemen in search of profitable problems that don't exist.
