only academics think in terms of "problems" and "solutions". You need to think in terms of demand. There is gigantic demand for a flying taxi

>From whom?

Everyone who currently takes a ground-based taxi, I would guess.

>For what purpose?

Getting from A to B in the shortest amount of time.

>How much are they willing to pay for it?

Now there's the real question. Apparently the price is too high right now for there to be a sustainable market. We'll see what happens as prices come down as the tech advances.
