Why would this design be any worse for passengers than usual?

You suggest it would have yaw problems -- why would it?

If it was controlled by classic aileron and rudder control surfaces, then I can imagine it would be harder to keep from yaw'ing than a traditional separate fuselage and wing design, because it lacks that nice long skinny fuselage that tends to want to fly where it's pointed.

But I'm assuming this plane has some fancy computers managing its control surfaces, and can fly whatever why they want it to fly, preferably nice and stable for land lubbers like me, even in turbulence.

I'm guessing it has, at minimum, dual redundancy, with cross checks of each instruction/result for flight control, etc.

Being able to see outside is somehow very helpful for passengers not controlling the aircraft. Lacking vertical control surfaces other than winglets makes me think it could have yaw difficulties when its equilibrium is upset, as would happen in turbulence. Combine those two and you have a bunch of sick passengers.

But you're right, by the time this design hits the mainstream, I'm sure the control and physiological issues will have been worked out. Flying wings and blended wing designs are very efficient, so it's possible they'll make it into commercial service someday.
