Son of chajin is a transportation planner in Phoenix; now he has to start thinking in three dimensions, not just two.

I could see myself having one of those octocopters for the short-hop flights between the main island and my private island in the South Pacific. After I win the lottery, of course.

A really stupid idea. Seeing the way half the population drives cars, this is the most idiotic idea ever.

These would only work, in large numbers by self driving technology.

We have photography drones that do this. Punch in a route, they climb, navigate to checkpoints, descend.

Hands on piloting is a no go for most.

Let’s prove its stability by using it as an aerial pig-hunting platform in Texas for five years or so - looks like it was purpose-built for the job.

Somebody reached the top and then some of his brain power. The inventor should contemplate the sight of all the thouands of cars stalled on freeways put into free flight octocopters in the air.

Now try to park them.
