The ideal "public transportation" being a private vehicle completely ignores climate change issues. Even an electric private vehicle needs to charge from the grid which so far isn't very sustainable, plus each private vehicle needs its own power. The fact of the matter is shared public transportation is the most sustainable option we have.

This is important - the idea that the future is a private flying vehicle is an artifact of 20th century science fiction. It does not fit into 21st century ecological and economic realities.

Agree with the current level of technology. That's why Boeing is developing new technology to solves these issues.
