    You'll have a while to wait.

    Do the math: you'll get enough electricity out of a modern battery to
    run a ducted fan long enough vertically lift the battery, the fan and
    some sort of lightweight chassis, for a few minutes. Not enough spare
    energy to lift a person, let alone travel 300 miles carrying one.

    Someday, sure. But not today.

    Empty, for a few minutes. The quoted range and speed just do not compute
    with current batteries. Imagine how far a ground car could get with
    batteries capable of meeting these claims.

    The maiden flight is already a history.

    Its maiden flight was a demo of an incomplete and impractical system.

    A power source which can deliver 10-100 MJ/Kg is required for that to be practical. Batteries deliver on the order of 0.1-1 MJ/Kg. Fuel cells
    can deliver enough MJ/Kg, but not the required rate of power.

    And hopefully self-driving will be practical once that advance in energy storage is made. Learning to fly an airplane has taught me not to trust
    most people I know untrained in flying machines.

    Still, when they are practical, I'll ride one. I bet it'd be fun.

    A fairy tale.. Sounds good though. Could be the future though.
