Pretty awesome. If it's just limited to private jets and helicopters, it is just "ok." If they get the semi-autonomous drones going, then that's something. https://www.wired.com/2016/10/uber-flying-cars-elevate-plan/

I thought the Amaozn's drone deliverying was cool. Now they are delivering people? I am in!
No frickin' way I am being strapped to a drone, with my feet dangling and being "delivered" to different locations. What the heck is semi-authomous anyways? It'd probably take off while I am still struggling with these straps.
Wait, isn't this what the jetpacks are for? Whatever happened to those?
They have them. WE got the hoverboards, and now we got the jetpacks.

Now the question is... do you trust yourself flying this thing? ..or do you trust the AI and autonomous features?
How would this ever take off? Private jets?
I see what you did there.
