Yup.

It would be like GM demonstrating a flying car for mass consumption.

what will come first... the flying car for mass consumption or magic drones that deliver all your mail? I'm not really sure... Both seem unlikely anytime soon. At least flying cars have a human driver; having humans drive the drones would fix a lot of its issues but isn't feasible on the scale required to make it useful.

True, but in that case, we might as well just add Z- axis control to a UPS truck them.

I'd say adding humans to the mix is 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

Let's just remove Z axis control and talk about self-driving Google cars which, hypothetically speaking, allow faster and more trouble free transportation. There's just something about consciously giving complete control of your life over to a machine, even though we do it all the time without knowing it, as if adding a steering wheel and brake pedal under human control is really a better option.

Personally, living in Southern California and having to commute to work everyday, I don't see how adding a Z axis under human control to the mix is going to make things better. I'd rather see drones delivering my Amazon orders.
