Did your motorcycle have all kinds of advanced gyros, inertial sensors, radar/lidar sensors, and control loops?

Seems like your comment is a bit like someone in the 1900s pointing at an early car and saying, "I fell off a horse once and nearly broke my neck. You won't survive an accident in that contraption." He wouldn't have been entirely wrong, but he wouldn't have been right, either. His comment would have added nothing useful to the discourse.

Automobiles were death traps for approx 80 years, it's just that the utility outweighed the risk. Not sure the same can be said about flying bikes.

Um, yes, actually. Humans are capable of all of those things. The problem usually arises when they decide to do something stupid, or somebody else decides to do something stupid and it involves them.
