Two dimensional travel at groundspeed less than 2 miles per minute doesn't seem ready for prime time. How are we going to get to three dimensions and 7 miles per minute groundspeed?
30-40K Americans die on the roads each year and nobody bats an eye.

A jaywalker gets killed by a robot and it's national news and all stop, Katy-Bar-the-Door. As I've been saying for years, prime-time is some ways off.

We don't have manned two dimensional travel figured out at 1 mpm but we do have manned three dimensional travel in the blind figured out at 200 feet and 2-3 mpm. Aviation is much more controlled than people let on.

I won't start getting worried until the manufacturers start putting designs on paper without pilots. I think I can ride out the rest of my 34 years safely since it won't be an overnight change anyway.

FAA announces ads-b requirement 10 years ahead of time but we will have something as impactful as single pilot 121 ops in the next few years with no warning. riiiiiiiight...
