Yeah the guy was saying the learning curve is very approachable for those with the right qualifications.

Flying a VTOL aircraft seems out of reach for me as most are either helicopters or military, but an EVTOL seems like something that could be in reach for me within my lifetime.

I think the cats, hedgehogs, squirels and otger frequent roadkill victims will be very happy if massively we start using flying electric cars

Flying cars exist, you just need a pilot license to operate one, that is not something that will go away any time soon, and for good reason.
Everyone driving at 60MPH in 2D is dangerous enough as it is, 160MPH in 3D is way more dangerous.

But we could have an average of 684 9/11’s a hour, the actual number of car crashes per hour in the US, driven purely by the piloting skills of the average Amarican driver given command of an aircraft, who wouldn’t want to live in that future?

If you replaced every vehicle with an electric airplane the electricity needed would be astronomical.
