I’ll never get over how something about Ohio motivates people to come up with new ways to get as far away as possible from Ohio…
I once took a job in Toledo with the intent to move there. After looking around, I decided to commute 106 miles in each direction instead.
Michigan and Ohio once fought over Toledo. Michigan won so Ohio had to take it.
, I decided to commute 106 miles in each direction instead
Even Toledo isn’t that bad… a 212 mile daily commute is fucking insane.
And you took a job there before ever visiting the city?
I wanted to move back home from DC because I hated it. So yes. It eventually became hybrid wfh.
This industry will die when cities ban them or the first accident takes out pedestrians below. No city is gonna allow these through the city
Around the world, electric vertical takeoff and landing, or eVTOL aircraft are entering the mainstream, though questions remain about noise levels and charging demands.
Joby’s production aircraft is designed to transport a pilot and four passengers at speeds of up to 200 miles (321.87 kilometers) per hour, with a maximum range of 100 miles (160.93 kilometers)… The plan is to place them in aerial ridesharing networks beginning in 2025.
My questions are all around licensing. Is this going to be run by the DMV or the FAA? I sure hope it’s going to take a pilot’s license to operate a 200mph flying car.
Almost definitely the FAA.
