And so if you can take off vertically, you can basically nestle the aircraft inside of cities.

Half the world lives in cities today.

By the middle of the century, it'd be like 70% of the world.

And you just can't get around.

It's just gridlocked everywhere in major cities.

It just sucks to go 20, 30 miles.

It takes an hour in most cases.

So basically, you can design an aircraft that can take off vertically and then fly like an airplane.

So you can get a lot of distance.

And you can basically then re-architect the whole aircraft to be fully electric.

The reason you want to do that is for cost and safety.

You basically can make it a lot less expensive.

You can put a lot less parts in the aircraft that are also good for safety.

So basically, you can build an electric flying car that you can move around.

So instead of calling an Uber or driving that might take you an hour in LA or SF or New York, you basically can fly there in 10 minutes.

Holy shit.

And if we can pool everybody together in an Uber pool style business model, you can do it for as cheap as an Uber.

But the problem was like, I didn't know anything about how to build electric aircraft.

I mean, where do you, you know, I'm just, I know you just sold your business for $110 million, but where do you get the confidence to, where do you get the confidence to go, I'm going to build vertical takeoff and landing flying cars now?

I mean, listen, I didn't wake up to this world like learning how to build software.
