Are the personal air transports ever going to be rush hour vehicle gridlock beaters?

Is it possible NZ will ever see used JDM personal air transportation?
Boy air racers annoying everyone etc

when you reach where ever you want, what do you do with one?

Park it in the JDM park, only 25% of car park fees

Stupid impractical self indulgent fantasy. Next up some billionaire w@$&%3r decides to make a floating island complete with some robotic flying elephants because an Osibisa album cover had a profound effect on him as a teenager. Boring tw@ts with no imagination looking for stupid cliché ideas to tilt at.

its not going to happen unless they can find a very dirt cheap source of energy and put it in a small lightweight package.
people complain about fuel prices now, planes simply cost huge amounts to run.
not to mention the safety factor which would be the nail in the coffin.

If the Japanese are committed to making the air buggies work, they will make them work.
E.g the early wet bikes etc through to the recenbt yamaha wave runners etc over 30 years of development.
Suzuki wet bike bitsa - late 1980s.

Certainly an incentive to find an alternative to being pushed onto a Japanese train literally.(unless this is staged)

But "the Japanese" aren't. Just some ridiculous fantasist with a redundant wet dream. Last year it was some plonker with a fighting robot that you could climb into. be a ninja in a pubesecent comic book reality, just don't trip over the extension cord. Nothing more than an exhibition of how little one can achieve with a lot of resources if one is dull enough.
