      The first one looks like it was drawn by someone who enjoys flying an airplane over cities. Which is also fun, but maybe not the best design guide.

          tbf if "fly an airplane everywhere" was a realistic option I would totally do it but

          We're so close to having viable automated sky taxis based on electric multiprop drone tech, only thing really holding it back at this point is batteries.

          https://workhorse.com/surefly  is a hybrid version (diesel generator), supposed to have a 70mi range. Biggest hurdle is probably you need a pilot's license for it (plus it'll be >$100k).

          I don't tend to think these will be average consumer items unless there's a big propulsion/power tech break through, but I can see them providing cross-city rapid transport on a shared basis. Plug in where you want to go on an app and the entire flight is automated.

          To do this safely and efficiently in a city at all it'd pretty much need to be fully automated in terms of traffic control. I don't think human ATC operators and small craft pilots could do it safely at all.

          I'm not really convinced automation could do it either. AFAICT autopilot in helicopters isn't nearly that good (in small drones it is, but they have a much easier job). Small numbers could be handled by existing PPL/ATC system; larger would be hard.

          I don't think there's anything currently extant that could manage a passenger drone swarm, but I can see it being entirely viable if someone were to invest say half a billion $ into developing it. The underlying tech is there to run it on at least metro area basis.

          In a lot of ways, automated aircraft is an easier problem to solve than automated cars. Vast majority of the obstructions are static, and if the airspace is exclusive to short range jump craft with metadata transponders, you can know where most of the other craft are.
