I'm very skeptical about any widespread deployment/use of flying tech whether delivery drones or personal aircraft.

You only need to look at the opposition to runway or operating hours expansion around airports. And this is even truer if there's a perception that it's all mostly for the benefit of "the rich."

Some will argue that most people already have to tolerate road traffic today to greater or lesser degrees. That may be true but I don't see a lot of people throwing their hands up and saying "Oh well, it's already pretty noisy. Who cares about a bunch of aircraft whizzing around my house."

And you probably shouldn't understate the safety aspect and the level of pushback after the first few accidents.
