If you are out drinking you hit the emergency button and it brings you home.

Brings you two blocks from your home after it hits the neighborhood power lines.

So it’s a giant drone with an enclosed seat for a person? Not the craziest idea.

Military is working on something like this for wounded soldiers so they don’t have to fly helicopters into a firefight. They have prototype ground and air drones that take a guy on a stretcher off the battlefield and back to the hospital.

I would be down for a ground wheeled pod that takes me home from the bar (self driving Uber but personally owned and small / economical). But a flying drone seems excessively risky.

I don’t understand how this is different from a gyrocopter



Sure, It’s cool looking, but I’m not seeing how it’s a breakthrough innovation.

Gyrocopter still needs a runway to takeoff and land. This does not.

The last time Elon was on Rogan, he hinted that the new roadster Tesla is making will be able to fly in some capacity.

Perhaps the price tag will prevent air traffic jams.

That doesn't look like George's ride. It looks like a helicopter.

I would think with programming and a cheaper price it could be a great taxi service where GPS took a passenger from one place to another.

There’s this company named Tesla and they’re almost there.

I think you should check it out.

If the robots are doing all this already, why involve people in the fighting at all?
