Jesus F. Christ the BS that gets posted and upvoted in this community is getting more ridiculously Chinese propagandist by the day. Freaking air taxis? Really? Germany has like a dozen of those dumpster fire startups that chew up subsidies like it‘s no tomorrow (because for them there really isn‘t).

As a drone hobbyist, this is absolutely terrifying
25 mins of flight on a charge, and that’s not going to be at max speed , so we’ll ballpark it to 15 miles of range perhaps and that’s assuming no “traffic” or delays on landing. Not terribly practical like pretty much all of these flying car concepts.
Oh, and if anything goes wrong, you’re likely dead.
Even if the tech was perfect, they’d be far too loud. Drones are already pretty loud, but you wanna make em huge and everywhere? Ugh.
The ground level weedwhacker blades could do double-duty clearing out brush (and pesky pedestrians).
