What makes you think it won't scale? Seems to mesh well with all the PR about drones all over the place lately. I could easily see the helicopters being replaced with remote piloted drone taxis within a decade.
It's noisy and expensive. Helicopters should have to pay a noise pollution tax, in my opinion.

It's one thing for Amazon to put your stuff in there, another, for a drone carrying people fly next to an airport
