This is nice, i like Airbuse's caryall taxi/ pod concept much more than boeing's concept however, still very nice to see these craft being developed across the globe, they are getting better and better by the month.

There are two technologies in the video clip.
The 226kg lifting capacity is for the CAV (cargo autonomous vehicle) not the PAV (passenger autonomous vehicle).

Imagine ordering a fridge from Amazon and having it delivered by a drone. :?

Autonomous passengers in an air vehicle ?

Thought we had that since about 1910 ?
