    Does it need road? Rail? Asphalt, steel, or concrete, which wear down and need to be replaced? Or does it just need a standard charging station as used by current EV’s? FFS, get over your fucking normalcy bias.

      Extensive air traffic control and dedicated infrastructure that is applicable, likely proprietary, only for this one service (including anything power related), significantly higher inherent risks in its operation. A service that caters for the slightest fraction of travellers and the more people using it, the less practical an idea it is.

      Normalcy in wanting services that have a meaningful impact for more than a handful of people.
