The federal government announced a new pilot program designed to get new kinds of ultralight vehicles and “eVTOLs” up and running around the country—even if they’re not fully FAA-certified.
Honestly, even in a competent administration, this scares me because of the fact that it’s bypassing the certification process altogether. We’ve already seen the danger caused with certified aircrafts, and now you’re telling me you want to bypass the certification process altogether.
I don’t know, I think it’s bad enough companies have been beta testing self driving cars on public roads where the rest of us need to have human intelligence and pass a driver’s test.
Now we will have flying cars crashing down on our houses.
Laws under capitalism are like religion; for controlling the peasants. As long as you commit crime for-profit against the peasantry, behind the liability shield of a corporation, you will be protected by the state.
In a competent administration, this would be inspiring.
With the current set of apparatchiks, this is terrifying.
I don’t want the airspace over my head “interesting,” I want it boring.

No it wouldn’t. It’s always been a dumb idea to get around public mass transit.
