Volonaut Air Bike Announcement

RECENTLY THERE HAS BEEN AN ANNOUNCEMENT OF A NEW INNOVATIVE AIR BIKE CALLED THE "VOLONAUT AIR BIKE" !

Video:

With the current condition of road infrastructure and law, What would have to change to have these air bikes be a commercial vessel for transportation?


If I were a decision-maker on this subject, I would limit air traffic in the city, but encourage it for open highways and rural roads, probably between the range of 60-80 feet off the ground to avoid any tower lines and bridges. But why not cities? I find it more personally logical to have these motorcycles in less restricted areas to prevent damage to property and collision accidents. But I'm open to opposing opinions.


I'm also curious what an intersection would look like. I imagine that there will be constant flow of traffic in linear lines, but just with intervals in height difference. Although, working in 3D space would solve all the daily hassles that go into making road infrastructure for cars.


I hope I get to live long enough to see this come to fruition in the future. These bikes are truly something else. However fuel and insurance plus the initial cost of the bike will surely be a fortune, so maybe I'll just get to see others ride it.


I'm curious if it's good with maneuverability, similar to a motorcycle's behaviors. However, the website and videos aren't really the best with explaining its mechanisms besides being "Really fast jet propulsion." Almost being unnecessarily vague if they're planning on selling it commercially. But time will tell.


I hear it might just be a scam? I haven't read too much into it but it would be dissapointing if it was. I was hoping by 20 years from now, we'd be living similar to Back to the Future.


Anyways, would love to hear what ya'll think.
