Luckily the homeless man walking on the street cannot just go in and get a pilot's license, like the average driver on the road can. To fly for "compensation or hire", be it a helicopter or an airplane, one has to have an FAA certified commercial pilot's license, which costs $60,000 to $90,000 to obtain, depending on school, training, and flying aptitude (and takes on average 2 years). So NO, the average Joe off the street is not going to be anywhere near the pilot's seat of one of these, REGARDLESS OF WHAT UBER WANTS!!
