It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Somehow, the idea of amateur pilots doesnt fit well with giant carbon fibre propellers directly inline with the human. This thing seems like an absolute deathtrap.

... I still want one tho.

Yeah, I feel like any tap on a obstacle would potentially send high-speed carbon shrapnel at drivers direction

I wonder if something like AI pilot lanes would work if network connection fails it uses LIDAR to auto land like drones. Wouldn't work over cities though.
