What about the carbon footprint for making the parts, specifically the batteries? I see a ball and cup trick mostly.

It's sad most of these vehicles tout the, "fully autonomous" no pilot's license required or, "it will fly for you" line. I guess this has to be to get broad adoption, but damn, take all the fun out of it why don't you. Jokes on them, flying is really fun and rewarding.

Can you see the future? Your self driving car drives you to your job where you monitor the AI that does the real daily work. Traffic gets bad, so you hail a fully autonomous flying machine for a lift back to your apartment. It's great, you never have to divert your attention from your mobile device. For a change you hail an Uber or Lyft so you go consume too much alcohol to relieve you from all the stress you accumulated from your hectic week.

Sounds charming.
