  2. Four passengers is just like a car taking flight. Doesn't solve any traffic problems, only shifts them to the sky. It would need the capacity of a well-sized bus to make a difference.

    Also, I doubt any large airport around the world wants hundreds or even thousands of these flying taxis around their airspace. Just one of those in the path of a jet is a recipe for a disaster.

    But who knows – I imagine these aircraft could be more useful in other roles – just not in highly populated areas.
