Urban quadcopter taxis will arrive soon. The software for quadcopters is very well-developed and AirBus is betting that the battery energy density is improving fast enough. Expect to see more flying taxis and services within the next few years as the technology is further developed and tested. Especially in LA, where, until last year, all high rises had to have flat-tops and heliports. That rule ironically ended just before this new era!
