Melbourne to get UBER Flying Taxi's in 4 Years

CASA will tell them to get ■■■■■■, just like every company who’s tried to commercialise drones.

Wankers.

My grandpa (former blacksmith) had dementia in his final years and everytime I visited him he’d ask if I’d secured the horses at the trough properly and did the wagon wheels need work yet?

I have some affinity with travel by horse.

Reminds me of this in the sense that high leevel tech boffins are so comically disconnected from the real world

Marketers.
Not tech boffins.

Standard Uber business model is not to pay wages and they do not have employees. Classic way to avoid meeting fair work standards.
Also, very recently the Fair Work Ombudsman has declared Uber drivers to be legit contractors and not employees. So no way Uber would consider paying wages, instead you’d probably get a pilot who is an Indian student doing a Cert 111 in Flying at some dodgy privately run pseudo TAFE!
Again, what could go wrong?

Hopefully they’ve done the part of the training course where they learn how to land, unlike the 9/11 “pilots”.

I feel like I should have something to say on this, but everything I’ve written has come across as snark.

Surprised they didn’t sell these things as pilotless at this stage though

Walking is healthy, will now have to dodge falling TAXI’s
