Two manufacturers say they are nearing delivery. First up is the Jetson One. (Seriously that's the name).

Coming in at $120k it's about on par with a nice luxury car. Made in Italy. Current foreseeable production is spoken for but you can put down an $8,000 deposit.
The second is the Pivotal Helix (no seriously, that's the name).

This one will set you back $180k for the base model. Go up to a quarter million for a nice trailer to tow it around.
Both are essentially man-carrying drones (how do you define a woman anyway?) with a 210lb load limit, so no fatties. One person, battery operated, goes for 20 minutes at a top speed of 60 mph or so before needing to be recharged. Vertical take off and landing.
In many ways these suffer from the same limitations and range anxiety as EVs. But they could change things in a metro setting I guess. Like if you didn't need to go far and could recharge often.
No special license they say is needed. I guess it doesn't go that high.
Hm. A flying golf cart?
If they get popular expect more regulations soon.

I think that, to be very honest with you, I do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled.
