the JOBY S2; many many propellers orientable 90 ° "tilt rotor" as say the Anglosaxons

Uh ... still computer images at 10 Million dollars?

At first glance, the technical sheet of the Joby Aviation S2 has nothing to revolutionize aeronautics: 320 km / h at peak, 320 km of autonomy and two strict places in the cockpit. Except that this aircraft is electric. First good point. The second and not the least is its propulsion system powered by 16 propellers, 12 of which can be rotated 90 ° for vertical takeoff. The result is a comfortable ride and a drastic reduction in noise pollution (thanks to the electric but also the multiplication of the number of propellers). This technology, introduced in 2014, should prove itself in the coming years, with an undeniable cost: $ 200 per unit, or approximately € 000.

Announcement effect? ​​...

German company Volocopter announces the marketing at the end of 2019 of its "flying taxi":

https://www.usine-digitale.fr/article/volocopter-presente-volocity-un-taxi-volant-pret-a-la-commercialisation-et-conforme-aux-normes-europeennes.N876240

Several things are interesting in this article:

- A marketing announced very soon while until now we have had only articles presenting prototypes or more or less futuristic concepts

- The craft would comply with recent European aviation safety standards and certifications

- From a technical point of view, this flying taxi offers "very advanced piloting assistance"which prefigures piloting in automatic mode" without pilot "

Wait and see ...

it’s much easier to automate a helicopter than driving,

to "simplify", the airspace presents few obstacles and a sheer of 30 m is generally not detrimental ...

while driving a car, especially urban, but not only, is very subtle.
