    It looks like the Cybertruck equivalent of those PC cases that look sort of like a Macintosh Classic only slightly off

    I wonder what the envisioned use-case for this would be. Probably not for everyday users, but perhaps industrial technicians at a remote worksite? Something like driving out to a site and then flying to the top of a mountain to inspect radio antennas or wind turbines?

    I just wonder if it would ever make sense, considering that most industrial applications would probably still require a licensed pilot to fly the quadcopter part.

      They claim it is easy to fly, though I am still somewhat skeptical:

      XPENG AEROHT has revolutionized flight control with its innovative single-stick system, enabling single-handed operation and simplifying traditional complex controls. This intuitive system, combined with autonomous flight capabilities, allows even novice users to “master the basics in five minutes and become an expert in three hours.”

      Not sure how much easier “flying” can be, unless it is mostly autonomous.
