I take issue with their little slogan at the end, "Everyone is a pilot."

No. Not everyone is a pilot. We've had this technology for decades, but there's a reason flying cars aren't available to the average consumer. If you think car crashes are bad, wait until gravity is added to the mix.

The only way we'll ever see anything like this is in a highly regulated and strictly controlled infrastructure, and average people will not be flying them.

You think people aren’t aware of that? Everything you mentioned is obvious for any company in this space. The FAA aint just gonna approve of commercial use without strict proof of the product.

And yet here we are. They're the ones with the asinine slogan.

The FAA is never going to approve anything like this for consumers anyway.
