The company hasn’t disclosed its pricing model, and the aircraft’s limited routes and capacity—one pilot and one passenger—might curb broad use initially.

Why would you put a pilot in the aircraft? He's not actually controlling the balance of the rotors, so why can't he be remote? If computer control fails the thing is cratering regardless of what the pilot does. Putting him in it is just wasting energy for no reason. "The pilot is less likely to run into something if he'd die along with the passenger" is that it?
