Wisk Aero, a startup founded in 2019 and backed by Boeing, has debuted its sixth generation remote-piloted “air taxi,” a yellow all-electric four-seat aircraft that can fly without a human pilot. The company touts its plug-in planes as the answer to city traffic congestion.
The Boeing-backed company is hoping to get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to carry passengers as part of a commercial air taxi service, according to a report by the Verge.

Pay no attention to all the blinking red and yellow lights in the automated control center.

Range of 248 to 124 miles. Hmmmm.

They’re so confident in this plane they won’t even allow their own pilot to fly it

Obviously not for two way traffic in the inner city. Hmm, and what about powerlines and traffic lights? Hardly a taxi replacement.

Just fly into a bright cloud and shove the plane’s recharging cable into a unicorn’s rear. Rainbows are a great source of power up there too. The aircrew may have to fight a leprechaun for it.
First crash and the whole crackpot idea is finished.

Wisk Aero,[ . . . ] has debuted its sixth generation remote-piloted “air taxi,”
So . . . what happened to the first five generations?
Are they like the first four tries of Chanel?
The first eight plans from outer space?
Jack Daniels' first six attempts?

What possibly could go wrong with *no pilot* and *crappy batteries* at 3-10,000 ft?

So the plane’s range depends allot on the weather?

So now, all a terrorist has to do is break into one of the remote control stations and he will able to crash a plane loaded with people into an occupied building. But he won’t get his 72 virgins that way.
