    The sky is huge. In theory you should be able to avoid most crashes just by separation rules which can be automated. I didn’t make this up, it’s literally a thing that exists called Big Sky Theory.

    The cars are autonomous, we need them because people can’t even manage a zip merge.

    Know what can be automated a lot easier than cars or planes, and can carry orders of magnitude more people with much less fuel usage? Fucking trains.

    So the flying vehicles that apparently crashed into each other of their own accord are safer than cars? Really?
