Lilium’s successful test flight of the world’s first electric VTOL jet [video]

It's technically not a "jet". They're using a large number of ducted fans for propulsion.

This reminds me (in a good way) of Paul Moller's SkyCar vaporware that I've been tracking since seeing it on the cover of Popular Mechanics as a little kid.

It's so cool to finally see something that is actually in the air... that 186 mile range sounds high for batteries, though. If they've really reached that, I'm impressed!

I look forward to a Lilium button on the Uber app.

Will this be autonomous? From the video, it looks like there is no one piloting. IMO, autonomous flight will be the only thing that makes this successful. Very cool nonetheless.

Looks cool, Specs look awesome, but I can guarantee I could not afford one.

Make it autonomous and call Uber/Lyft
