Title: Taxi?
Post by: BazaJT 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

Well for starters it could run of fuel or battery power and then your be stuck up in the air for ages.

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!
