I have hope

I hope neither model is ever sold to the public. My personal vision of eternal perdition is the general population applying it's navigational and traffic problem solving skills to 3 dimensions, moving at 300 mph- especially computer controlled.
That sounds a bit Luddite, but take a look, next drive, at how many drivers are multi-tasking (eating, phoning, reading, watching movies....) at 45 mph. I don't want more poorly trained drivers in the airspace with the illusion that "george" is flying. And, most urban areas can't adequately plan traffic in 2 dimensions. "SUVs in space" is a very bad idea. Thankfully, it'll never happen. At least, until the current rocket belt boom bottoms out...
