I am thinking about how there is a lot of congestion already in U.S.
airspace with so many planes up in the air.
There's been an increase in midair collisions over some airports.
Do we really need air taxis?
Yeah, these are all good questions.
Airspace, infrastructure.
What's interesting is I brought up this issue of congestion and the question of whether it would be more worth it to invest this type of money into public transit or building more, you know...
Right.
High-speed trains, subway lines, metro centers, etc.
Yeah.
So the experts I talked to for the story, they view this, you know, the air taxis as a complement to existing public transit.
And this can be done in large part by modifying and scaling existing helipads rather than investing in major infrastructure projects.
This would be in places where they think the initial audience for these air taxis are people who are taking Ubers and other rideshares instead of public transit.
To this end, the FAA sent me guidance they've worked up for how to modify and scale existing helipads.
I think what remains to be seen is just the demand this will get from regular folks, from people like you and me.
So, Em, I totally hear you.
And like most people don't even know these companies exist.
I didn't know this was a thing until you brought it up.
Right.
Right.
