Look! Up in the sky....
Look! Up in the sky. It's a plane, it's a... passenger drone? Yes, in Dubai this reality of traveling from one rooftop to another has already come to pass. Frank Lloyd Wright designed a similar system in his Broadacre Community Plan.
We could be calling Uber from a rooftop downtown to take us to the airport or to lower Manhattan from the Rockefeller Center, if only people would have taken Frank more seriously.
Maybe it sounds like a Star Trek episode, but passenger drones are a THING now. Make no mistake. The Ehang 184 can carry people from one tall building to another. All you have to do is call from your cell phone and charge the ride to your account.
That's one creative solution to urban traffic. The bike still has a smaller ecological footprint. Still, a drone does have some advantages, I have to admit.
