So require more training and certification for use?

Are you guys all seriously hung up on the word “car” here and trying to imply that eVTOLs can’t just come with its own infrastructure and pilot requirements independent of what we currently have?

It doesn’t have to be like cars, where the skill level of the driver can be non existent and still pass licensing.

I just can’t believe I’m in the tech community of a supposedly leftist website having to argue for a technology that beyond small local airstrips (literally a grass field with charging stations and basic rest stop equipment) needs no additional ground infrastructure.

The opposition? Begin large scale rail projects that will require we carve through a lot of natural resources as well as acquire the resources to build it with.

I just have to double check to make sure I didn’t fall into the wrong internet rabbit hole.
