Comment on Mercedes spends $8bn/year on R&Dparent

There are a lot of companies going after the big people-carrying drone concept. Some try to brand them as flying cars, but really they are cheaper helicopter alternatives. Which is useful but will hardly be ubiquitous, except maybe for rural ambulances and such.

Jetpacks on the other hand might finally be getting out of the "possible but not useful" state, moving quickly towards "useful in some niches" and maybe further on from there.
