I think evtols will be far safer then automobiles ever will be. Of course there will be automated systems, flight control, destination controls, but take away our right to fly? Tragic. I for one will be fighting for the freedom of flight, it’s not just getting from point a to point b.

Heaviside? Wisk? Aurora? –Archer and Joby likewise –cash burners without coherent design ideas.
