This year's show, the first since COVID, included an air mobility experience, so stuff like hover⁴ bikes, jet suits and amphibious aircrafts. You might be able to buy a flying vehicle early next year for 800 grand, which, here in LA, could be a bargain when you happily soar over all that traffic. It's MORNING EDITION.
