Joby Aviation said this week that it got the green light to flight test its factory-made air taxi, which it hopes to launch commercially in 2025. It's one of several companies reaching for the skies.
I would try it ... not sure about being one of the first ones to try it, though.
We truly live in the future now 😊
The problem with VTOLs is that they're just helicopters. It is just reinventing the wheel, but usually much dumber that what already exists.
