Yes it is. A SUV rarly crashes into a building and when it does, it's often possible that humans die. An airtaxi crashes down from a hight and speed. They will crash into and through your roof or into a street or directly into humans. Airspace pollution is not a fake concern. Why would we allow one company to fly over my head and another not? Either it is so niche that it doesn't add any benefit to our society or it becomes so normal that air space pollution is a real issue. I'm very very happy when I look into an empty/nearly empty sky. This is a valid concern. |

This is something that happens on a daily basis.

The NHTSA estimates that there are 16000 crashes per year in the US caused by drivers confusing the brake and accelerator pedals. A huge chunk of these do end up with the vehicle inside a building.

The odds of a SUV driving into humans is far greater than the odds of a falling airtaxi hitting anyone.
SUVs end up inside stores every single day because of unintended acceleration on parking lots.

What does that even mean?

The “airspace” is very big 3D space that can simultaneously accommodate thousands of flights over a city before congestion becomes an issue.
