No Place Like Drone

Winter finally cranked into gear in my neck of the woods with a single-day 40-centimeter snowfall (that's about 16 inches) that's still mostly on the ground. Scooting around town isn't exactly the most enjoyable thing in the world at the minute, so now, more than ever, I'd like to get my hands on the 184 from Ehang.
It can transport a person for up to 10 miles or a 23-minute flight time, and there's no need to have a pilot's license. Just tap in your destination, press a button, and you're airborne. You can relax with air conditioning, a 4G data connection, and a reading light (or look out the window nervously while you're whipping along as fast as 60 mph at up to a height of 11,000 feet).

The safety aspect is a touch worrisome, but Ehang apparently has failsafe measures in place. Plus, humans are nothing if not a bold species -- and my spirit of adventure, married with a desire to avoid walking in foot-deep snow for the next four months, means I am supremely eager to have one of these carting me around, death wish be darned.
If flying cars aren't the future, perhaps automated octocopter transports are -- at least until we're all in self-driving cars.
