Motorcycles can already do that due to the wonders of lane splitting.

Wouldn’t you need a pilot’s license for this? If it only flies so low that you don’t, isn’t it then suuuuper dangerous?

I say the dangerous part as a former Boosted Board afficionado and current motorcycle rider

Id guess it would be less dangerous than driving than say, a turbo busa, given you have less things to crash into!

Don’t sell it short! You can crash this into everything you can crash a motorcycle into PLUS everything in the sky!
