Pretty darn amazing for a relatively fledgling technology, I'd say! Imagine when they get it ironed out!

When you factor in networking and auto traffic control in heavy traffic areas, I would bet that the end goal is for more people to be able to travel safer, faster and more efficiently than they can now.
I'm sure horses used to beat on the rickety, wheezing, unreliable cars consistently in closed course races in the very early stages of their development; much to the satisfaction of new-technology skeptics back in the day.
