Taxi?
« on: 26 September 2017, 07:57:19 »

I see they are trialling drone taxis in Dubai.looks basically like a cross between a drone and a miniature helicopter.The one shown had two people aboard,whether or not that's the passenger limit I don't know.Other than the problem [in wider use]of finding pick up/setting down places,would you get in one of these things trusting to someone quite possibly many miles away remotely operating it? What could possibly go wrong? :-X

People will avoid it at first, but slowly and surely they'll get used to the idea as they see other people using them and see that it's a cheap, quick and easy way of getting from A to B.  :y

And then the inevitable will happen.....  :(

Not stuck, Zirk - they could simply get out and walk!
