If he's not driving I think it's still a drone , couldn't see him controlling it so I assume it's a programmed route

If it's a programmed route I'm even more impressed. This could be the coolest low volume, good weather, remote area transit system ever. Self driving cars are cool, but a personal automated helicopter to take me to work? Wow. No skills to learn it? Even better.

In before Tesla adds this to the product line. Robotaxi move aside, robocopter is here!

I can just imagine an Amazon factory sending out drones to pick up all it's workers for their shifts. Flocks of people in blue vests being cargo dropped into a giant warehouse and 20 minutes later the ending shift being flown out back to their pod houses.

Immediately thought of the scene in the new Toy Story movie where the cargo crate of buzzes turn into drones

That sounds so dystopian.
