Will the drivers/pilots need special licenses to prove they are competent, responsible and safe?
Taxis suggest a lot of night-time flying which is 10x more dangerous than flying in the daylight.
Will all buildings such as churches need navigation lights stuck on them?
Flying over a city at 500 feet is not that much of a problem but if you're landing at night then that's an accident waiting to happen - telephone and electricity lines, trees are all hazards. If the taxi has to land in a designated zone then that defeats the door-to-door concept of a private taxi and makes the flying taxi expensive, dangerous and pointless.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?
