This sounds like the person raving against personal computers in the 50's, how "no-one will ever need or want one."
And here I am sitting on the shitter with one that fits in my pocket.
Imagine trying to explain to someone just 40 years ago that I now have light bulbs which can sense motion in addition to being voice-controlled and full RGB. 80's interior designers would go bonkers for these.
I don't think these will replace normal traffic anytime soon but niche rescue vehicles or smth, perhaps. Also maybe we're just at the awkward point between quadcopters and Star Wars style jets? The jets are just so much more aesthetic.
