[NSRCA-discussion] Drone for (short) commutes

[Lance]

Im at CES and have seen this thing and their demo videos. This isn't a model aircraft and Ehang has applied to the FAA for approvals. They don't appear to be offering this as a home built thing. And I can say that none of the team is an AMA member
