This doesn't even touch the idea of training people to fly.

I've been studying for my Remote Pilot license just to use my drone professionally and the amount of information you need to know is at times overwhelming. I seriously can't imagine how you would administer a test like that to license people to fly their cars.

That doesn't seem to be an issue: You have got enough happening in your life without having to learn how to fly. But what if flying across town was as easy as hopping in a rideshare? What if Cora could fly for you?

Cora will combine self-flying software with expert human supervision, so you can enjoy the ride. [0]

Well, we already have licenses for flying planes, which seems to work quite well.
