The designer said he wanted his mom to hop in it and drive it without too much head scratching.

When I saw Air Sedan I thought we might finally be getting our damn
flying cars.

I used to want flying cars. Then I observed the behavior of blondes in SUVs
and thought better of it.

I saw an article not long ago where a startup basically upsized a
multi-rotor drone so that 1-2 humans could fit. Drones already have GPS
navigation, collision avoidance, and automatic return-to-base capabilities,
among other things. I think they said if you stay below a certain altitude,
you don't need a special license to fly it.

I took a quick look just now, but everything I saw was from 2018, with
headlines such as "World's First Passenger Drone Unveiled in China" and
"Human-Carrying Drones Are Here". Videos are on youtube.
