Still an a relatively easily solvable problem. The problem with cars is using infrastructure designed for people. They need to read signs, detect things (humans in particular) in the way, and deal with other human drivers. If these communicate with each other (and don’t clog signaling frequencies) they should be able to handle each other autonomously fairly well in the air.
Comment on China gives Ehang the first industry approval for fully autonomous passenger-carrying air taxis
Chais@sh.itjust.works 8 months agoThere’s less air traffic now. But if you approve the first autonomous air taxi, you’ll soon approve the second and third and before you know it there are thousands of those things whirring through every major city and then you have just as much traffic and one more dimension to worry about.

Yes, but that’s a future problem. People don’t care about those problems.
