Thanks for watching! Now, the big question: Would YOU get inside an autonomous aircraft?
I don’t trust that it’s. 🚫⛔🚫⛔🚫
To me it a it’s a self flying killing device.
thats a glorified heli
this is just dumb
That’s pretty cool, but I’m curious about one thing. What happens if you need to use the bathroom during a flight?
Nice looks safe, a constant added remote monitoring of all systems and functions sent from the vehicles full self monitoring. Recording of all systems and actions for software recommendations and added software updates. All this will make shipping and transport affordable and sustainable and safe.
Na I’m good walking not bad
I have flown a lot of drones and am aware how unstable they are.
Mumbai really 👀that’s a risk for wisk✨
They almost got the name right… Risk 😂
we already invented this. it’s called a helicopter. stop reinventing transportation. like how many times are we going to reinvent the train (hyperloop)?!?!
Wild thought but, why don’t improve public transport?
This is how you get rid of someone without taking blame 😂
FAA requires climb performance with an engine failure. How does this climb engine out?
The consumer market has proven they don’t like propellers.
Zero percent of takeoffs are on autopilot. Less than 1 percent of landings are automated. This endeavor is about fleecing investors.
This looks like an incredibly expensive machine compared to a standard helicopter. So how will it be cheaper to fly these?
Nope
Minor detail: This product doesn’t exist. It’s an investment scam by the same people that claim to build “hoverbikes.” Jetson ONE. There’s at least half a dozen more, all scams, all by the same people.
Fatal then bank rupt.……lolololol.….
So instead of using a helicopter you use an airplane With multiple engines to trick the public and the thinking you’ve got something new and better but it’s actually just a hoax To steal a lot of investors money what a joke.…🦄🦄🦄
You may find more success in rural areas with wealthy farmers, who need to cross less busy cities. I would use one. @claire reilly
Those who support Wisk in Brisbane especially Council of South East Mayor’s advocacy group (not an government department so why have Qld.gov.au) are ignoring local community infrastructures are being neglected as Wisk Pilotless helicopters are more important as evidence by damaged, missing and dangerous pedestrians infrastructures I reported years ago to Brisbane Council still haven’t been rectified but they are getting excited about Wisk and apart from the hire costs and as Wisk wouldn’t be allowed to land anywhere, there is the costs of getting to and from Wisk landing site that Wisk forgot to mention
Wisk sees money, others see reality especially the extra cost of getting to and from the Wisk locations?
Airports are well controlled, so taking off and coming to an airport can be automated. But taking the passengers to a city, you have so many variables including bird strikes, a child playing a ball game, some cheeky person doing electronic jamming, air space getting restricted due to vip movement are a few to mention which needs a human behind the machine to do make a decision there and then.
IMHO flying taxis seem to over complicate the issue of transportation within cities? instead of many smaller players gambling on unproven tech why not go big on proper electrified rail?
this will replace public transport
Nothing beats good old fashion Trains
Another great innovation for rich people.
I am not impress as there is no live of it performing take off and landing..
I doubt it will take off. No pun intended. Pilotless passenger aircraft is a big leap of faith.
current jetliner can basically to gate to gate on autopilot
