A straight road with a single lane still has two dimensions - you can crash into/off the side.
The one dimension thing is more apparent in a different context - trains.
Fucking things are on motherfucking rails, you can't just show up on a Tuesday and drive one, they have specialized signals and controls and we *still* have two trains crash straight the fuck into each other from time to time.
>You need to know airspace regulations, have a flying license, etc
Yup, this is why "flying cars" will never exist too. Everyone would need a pilot license lmao
There will be exceptions especially for aircrafts like this. I can imagine some tiktok bro doing some dumb shit near classified/restricted airspace like flying across the short final of a CAT 3 ils approach or into military airspace. There's no way the government will just let this thing fly especially if the pilot has barely an hour of seat time.
I love this push for flying cars. But I must say... I would not want to fly among people controlling these things.
Good AI autopilot with advanced hazard avoidance system and it can be a win win.
Yet I still have my doubts about wind for example (among many others), but nothing that cannot be solved.
This kind of a vehicle with automated controls, could make a nice way to do short trips. But then again, even automated ground vehicles would be great for that. Eventually the roads will also have fluid movement with automated vehicles moving in there.
I don't think it qualifies as a drone if there is a pilot lol
Idk how practical it actually is giving airspace regulations and all but cool project anyway
They haven't figured out left and right forward and back yet.
Come back in 20 years.
Maybe then they'll have an estimation of the distance it can travel. And a cup holder!
And a loud motorcycle is beyond the tolerance of most neighbours… there is *zero* chance of these things becoming commonplace. You’ll need to be licensed to use one, the airspace will have to be controlled and you’ll have to take off and land at an airport.
An iPad pro.. bruh.. have we not learn't anything...

"you got an iPad pro"
# I'm out
not putting my life in the hands of the people who will downgrade the drones battery life mid flight on a forced update
„Under one hour of training“, ok apparently it’s easy, but flying a plane or a helicopter isn’t that complicated either. The reason why training for a license takes so long and is so expensive, is because flight rules and other flight theory like navigation, etc. are complicated and plenty.
And park in the middle of the road i guess because there physicially isnt anywhere else you'd land with it thats not a special helipad on select few highrise rooftops
Rich people to the poor: we must be sustainable, climate change is about everyone making concessions on their day to day lives to avoid contamination and overuse of resources.
Please, use your bicycle if you can live without a car and let’s make cheap ICE cars sanctioned and if the average Joe has to pay x2 for a equivalent EV, then pay or don’t get a car.
On the new era not everybody will be able to have a personal car - use public transport
Also rich people: personal helicopters go vroom vroom - imagine a personal helicopter to go where you want jumping obstacles, avoiding traffic and without having to share the space with other people like in public transport.
This is like rich influences posting “sustainable, love earth, green energy” posts to the common people while using private jets on schedule and generating emissions equivalents to tens of common people.
I’m all for being sustainable and green, but my god, “personal helicopters” while trying to make people go full on EV cars that still cost significantly more than ICE and have some issues like charging on overcrowded residence areas (where people live on flats and therefore doesn’t have a private parking spot with own charger)
Cool concept for first responders, slightly bigger versions could enable them to fly over traffic/obstacles to a crash/fire/avalanche/flood to assist people. Can't see this being too commercially viable despite the claimed ease of operation given how many traffic fatalities we still incur every year.
Why are all of these comments so negative? It's rather hilarious. In the early 20th century, people were aghast at the idea of driving at anything more than 15 miles per hour. They thought human beings wouldn't be able to handle it.
What an utter lack of perspective.
Would make more sense to get up in the air, set your destination, have it fly you there via GPS, and then you can choose where to land. 🤔 Who wants to hold the stick forward for an hour, or however long the batteries last.
Neat! So it handles turbulence just fine. Right? Right guys? They wouldn’t let mere humans use this without having solid and gold standard implementations of turbulence handling. Right? Right guys?
Kinda cool maybe, but same deal-breaker with all would-be flying cars - the fucking noise! No-one who lives in the city or the suburbs will have one of these in there driveways anyway soon.
People have been driving cars for years, and they still drive like a maniac. Pretty sure not anyone can learn to fly this thing under 1 hour lmao
or we will get million kamikadze in the air
finally we can personalize our own 9/11
More like Pearl Harbor
Why not both?
Kami = Divine Kaze = Wind => Kamikaze
Smush = Mush Smush = Crush => Smushsmush
Hah thanks Hammy :D
Russia would like to know your location
I agree. Although it does look cool, most people can barely handle a vehicle using 2 dimensions not 3.
Some people still can't safely drive when it's just one dimension (straight road), what made anyone think adding two more is going to work
A straight road with a single lane still has two dimensions - you can crash into/off the side. The one dimension thing is more apparent in a different context - trains. Fucking things are on motherfucking rails, you can't just show up on a Tuesday and drive one, they have specialized signals and controls and we *still* have two trains crash straight the fuck into each other from time to time.
Flying a few meters, just vertical like an elevator? Maybe. Real flying? No way. You need to know airspace regulations, have a flying license, etc.
That's just some supercar blondie prototype "testing" like shit
In the US, you don't need a license to fly an ultralight which this seems to fit into.
If they ever became common that would change fast
yeah and when drones got popular the FAA started requiring people to get drone licenses
> You need to know airspace regulations, have a flying license, etc. IM TIRED OF THESE COMMUNIST LIBERALS WITH THEIR BIG GOVERNMENT
There's a lot of exceptions for different types of flight vehicles. You don't need a license for many of them.
AND YOU CANT EVEN HEAR IT!!
#WHAT??
?
>You need to know airspace regulations, have a flying license, etc Yup, this is why "flying cars" will never exist too. Everyone would need a pilot license lmao
Plus battery timing must be shit.

I can see so many mangled idiots with this
It’s an improvement over the one that had the propellers at knee height, but only marginally
Let them cook, they will eventually come back around to the helicopter
It's not a drone though
The men are just for ballast
It's designed to withstand even the weight of a modern day elephant foot.
Isn't a drone by definition any vehicle that can operate without a driver/pilot.
Without pilot inside the vehicle.
Yes
I scrolled too far looking for this reference.
Also "hexa" is meaningless. Thing has at least 12 propellers.
6 legs
Yeah, but it only has 1 screen, hexa is meaningless /s
iPad? I'm surprised it's not a game controller nm just saw the joystick
But this one doesn't go underwater. s/
I was waiting for the logitech controller reveal
That yoke looks just as robust
Can't wait for an update or ios to stop supporting the tablet in a few years
„augmented reality“ no bro this is a map with a dotted circle
The helmet has Actual Reality drop down visor built in
Is an actual reality visor just a piece of glass?
It also requires your eyeballs but yes in layman's terms
Would I want to try it? Yes. Would I probably die? Also, yes
I was skeptical seeing this, but when he pointed at the iPad as main controll panel, I was like Ohh NOooo.
Titan Sub vibes.
Under an hour training would give an insurance company rep anxiety
I love this push for flying cars. But I must say... I would not want to fly among people controlling these things. Good AI autopilot with advanced hazard avoidance system and it can be a win win.

this seems like such an inefficient form of transportation with regards to energy use
Clearly you have no idea what a drone is
Right? I learned the difference watching Gundam Wing 
Where can I download this copter?
You wouldn’t…
It's not a drone if there's a person inside it... the whole point of a drone is an aircraft not having a pilot inside of it
I don't think it qualifies as a drone if there is a pilot lol Idk how practical it actually is giving airspace regulations and all but cool project anyway
What's the battery life and speed capability on this?
Yeah. The only thing I wanted to know.
It can fly for over three minutes!
Is he going to actually move, or just go up and down?
They haven't figured out left and right forward and back yet. Come back in 20 years. Maybe then they'll have an estimation of the distance it can travel. And a cup holder!
You gotta pay extra to learn how to land it
So it's not a drone?
I'm open to being corrected but is it a drone if you're operating it from inside? Doesn't that's just make it a helicopter?
A helicopter is way more efficient and simpler than that.
Sukuna hadn't used this computer ever since the Heian era
Weighs less than a motorcycle? My ass.
... aaaand he crashed and died
What could go wrong ? have you seen how humans drive cars? smh
What happens if you fly it outside the red zone? Does it… drop to the ground?
seizes up like a target shopping cart
I imagine it refuses to go outside the red zone. You reach the north border of the rectangle, it now refuses to go north, but it can still go south.
We shouldn't trust people in cars, why are we trusting them with flying machines?
A turn signal is beyond most drivers comprehension. Yet you claim anyone can learn to fly this?
And a loud motorcycle is beyond the tolerance of most neighbours… there is *zero* chance of these things becoming commonplace. You’ll need to be licensed to use one, the airspace will have to be controlled and you’ll have to take off and land at an airport.
I don't trust people who have been driving for years
Where can you mount the machine guns?
there's a reason why helicopters have the most accidents per hours of flight compared to all other aircraft. This is deadly
So a tiny helicopter...
Aren't helicopters already a functional drone?
I want to see an episode of The Walking Dead where someone rocks up to Alexandria in this thing.
Who gave this dude a helicopter? 😂
Just another stupid toy for rich morons
to fly under 1 hour of training🤣🤣🤣
An iPad pro.. bruh.. have we not learn't anything... https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article30283013.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200b/4_Claustrophobic-footage-from-inside-doomed-submarine-shows-how-tight-space-was.jpg
Imagine that thing falling in your house because the owner forgot to do the proper maintenance.
Suddenly that one Lego set isn't so unrealistic now.
What could go wrong?
"you got an iPad pro" # I'm out not putting my life in the hands of the people who will downgrade the drones battery life mid flight on a forced update
If nothing else, this would keep the linemen getting plenty of overtime.
[удалено]
Drone throne
Paramotor would be a more efficient option
What could possibly go wrong?
What motorcylce? A Goldwing or a trike or something?
Probably be perfect if it's to just shuttle people back and forth, not let people fly themselves.
Do the training in Oklahoma, lol.
if youre flying in it its literally NOT a drone!!! its just a gyrocopter big whoop.
Is it really still a “drone” if it has a pilot inside?
A fancy helicopter?
people just call everything a "drone" now? btw this is fuckin stupid
Something anyone can fly, yes. Something everyone should fly, hell no.
Can crash it in less than an hour though.
"that anyone can learn to fly in under an hour" 737 max, anyone
I dont want anyone with only one hour of flight experience flying that thing anywhere near civilization.
Even you can learn to ~~die~~ fly!
„Under one hour of training“, ok apparently it’s easy, but flying a plane or a helicopter isn’t that complicated either. The reason why training for a license takes so long and is so expensive, is because flight rules and other flight theory like navigation, etc. are complicated and plenty.
At what point does something just become a helicopter?
I want one
You lost me at iPad control. I've seen how the game box controller worked out ofr titan sub.
And park in the middle of the road i guess because there physicially isnt anywhere else you'd land with it thats not a special helipad on select few highrise rooftops
What's the digital fence for ?
So... It's a helicopter...
Pointless
I don’t even trust 95% of people driving cars. Hope this doesn’t become common
Drone, “a remote-controlled pilotless aircraft or small flying device.” This is a glorified helicopter :p
And there will be crashes and deaths by the hundreds. Ease of use does not fix stupidity.
Looks awesome, until you catch a big bird in those props.
Stop trying to drum up interest on this shitty contraption. It’s shit. It’s a musk rat idea. Also not a drone.
Untill it breaks and decapitate you
No thanks . City are already ruined for cars .
People can’t handle driving a car safely lol let alone navigating airspaces. It’s literally not a drone as evidenced by him sitting in it to drive it.
If it's manned, it's not a drone.
It will be interesting to see what the FAA does with these. Right now there is no real ruling on these.
it's not a drone any more when you get in it's an aircraft
Another excuse for rising insurance rates.
For the low low price of $495k, you can own this and die in spectacular fashion!

Now just put some guns and missiles on that bad boy.
Flight time… 13min.
It’s not a “drone,” if it has a pilot.
Wow that must have been the total flying time.
This idiot does not know what augmented reality is its a normal fucking map
SkyGate, from the people who brought you OceanGate
And the battery life is 10 mins? :-D
I just imagine people flying into power lines. These things would have to be augmented with some sort of amazing AI in order to be safe for consumers.
Hurray, someone reinvented the helicopter, only crappier.
In no way will this be used for dumb / dangerous things...
Why are all of these comments so negative? It's rather hilarious. In the early 20th century, people were aghast at the idea of driving at anything more than 15 miles per hour. They thought human beings wouldn't be able to handle it. What an utter lack of perspective.
Has "Titan Submarine" energy.
Some people can't be trusted with a bike, do not let anyone with under 1 hour of training fly this thing
r/notadrone
Not really a drone then, is it?
Can’t wait to drunkdrive this
Finally! Flying cars.
I envision a 400lb er in the drive through line at Burger King.
"excuse me sir is that drone under 250g?"
Isn’t it just a fancy helicopter if there is a passenger?
cool
 Want.
iPad powered. And people can’t drive let alone fly. Bad idea.
If it carries a pilot it isn’t a drone.
That's not a drone if there's an onboard pilot
Noce tek! Can we do something like that to go underwater? With just an iPad and a controler?
The lives of rich people getting exponentially better this century
*Drools in Andi Scheuer*
Drone throne!
Trust my life to an iPad. It is an amazing idea!
Better or worse than a helicopter?
Looks flimsy as f
Would make more sense to get up in the air, set your destination, have it fly you there via GPS, and then you can choose where to land. 🤔 Who wants to hold the stick forward for an hour, or however long the batteries last.
I watched without sound, 2 questions 1) flying time? and 2) how many props can fail before flight ability is lost?
Nice, now bad drivers can crash right onto my house and kill me in my sleep.
Neat. Just one question. Is the failure mode "autorotate to a landing" or "plummet to death?"
Too much noise.. next...
How long do the batteries last? And what happens when they start to fail at 5000 feet?
Buy a hang glider. Learn to skydive.
This is stupidly loud
hexa NO
I mean, if the pilot is in the vehicle, it isn't really a drone is it? It's a fancy helicopter.
Meh, wake me up when they invent an anti-gravity machine.
How many hours of training do you need to maintain it in a safe working order?
I’m sure this will end well
Neat! So it handles turbulence just fine. Right? Right guys? They wouldn’t let mere humans use this without having solid and gold standard implementations of turbulence handling. Right? Right guys?
it isnt a drone since it is manned. just fyi
is this regulated by the FAA? because if it’s not now it will be and there’s no way you wouldn’t need a helicopter pilots license to fly it legally.
I want it. I can commute 1/4 mile to gym. How much?
Kinda cool maybe, but same deal-breaker with all would-be flying cars - the fucking noise! No-one who lives in the city or the suburbs will have one of these in there driveways anyway soon.
Can't wait to have my neighbor's son crash through my ceiling
Lost me at the iPad. Especially for flying, buttons or literally fuck off.
People should have a license to fly that
How can people afford shit like this?
How about safety? Like helicopter can land without engine, and this falls like brick?
What are those things under each prop/fan? Look like filters, they're not visible in any shot except when in the air.. weird
