The world according to: the French ready to climb on board taxi drones
La crise du coronavirus a eu de multiples conséquences, elle rebat les cartes et nous oblige à repenser ce qu’on croyait acquis. C’est particulièrement vrai en ce qui concerne les transports. L’effondrement du trafic aérien, le choix du train ou le retour de modes de transoprt individuel : tout semble remis à plat.
170 projects in the world
And in this reflection, flying taxis or taxi drones occupy a good place. More agile than a helicopter, more flexible and sometimes autonomous, taxi drones are, in fact, rich in promises. And what was little more than an idea for a science fiction film is more and more for more and more with many projects all over the world. We count nearly 170! And among them that of Airbus: Cityairbus. This giant drone with several propellers, 8 by 8 meters long is 100 % electric and autonomous. A 15 -minute autonomy, it should ultimately have the capacity to transport four passengers to 120 km/h. The RATP has already said it was interested and Airbus dreams of launching its taxi-drone in 2024 for the Paris Olympic Games. Airbus could be preceded by Uber and Hyundai who could launch a Drone Taxi fleet in 2023 in San Francisco. In China, the company Ehang, which made a first unmanned flight from its aircraft in January 2020 and a new flight over Seoul, the South Korean capital. Debt November, the Spanish Air Navigation Manager Enaire announced to participate in two aero-taxi projects funded by the European Funds Horizon 2020, and tables on flying taxis in Barcelona in 2022. The US consulting firm Oliver Wyman Estile The first intra-city trade routes could open in 2023, with a flying taxis market from 2025 which could represent $ 35 billion in 15 years. If technical difficulties are gradually lifted, obviously remains the question of Price - We are talking about € 300 for 15 minutes - and user confidence.
On this last point, opinion seems ripe.A study carried out by Carvea Consulting and Opinea, published this week, revealed that 43% of French people are ready to board an unmanned taxi drone.This desire rises to 51% among men and it is even stronger among the youngest by displaying 54%."The legitimacy of this use in the eyes of the French is strong above all for civil use with 68% which find an appropriate drone for the surveillance of zones (cultures, construction sites), then 65% for aerial photography or 53% for safetyLike the national or municipal police, "said the investigation.Finally, "among the positive people for the use of one in two drone one in two is ready to make a journey between predefined stations or a freely predefined journey on a smartphone. But also to go to the city center orat the airport."

Frankly, that's enough pollution !!!
As for the future vaccine .. priority to cities ..
I am waiting to see the use limitations because it is not a car but a flying machine subjected to the wind, to the fringe.As a former pilot I remain very circumspect on mass use, especially as soon as there has been a crash and unfortunately there will be.
Given the price there will be no use of mass. In any case, there is a question of very regulated airspace. Definite helicopters (with experienced pilots) samu or gendarmerie are excluded from the city, I do not seewell how this kind of machine could be allowed!
