    Aerotaxis would still be aircrafts.

    I don’t know why people imagine that making an aircraft the shape of a car suddenly landing would be as simple as going to a parking lot.

      Air taxis are sometimes helicopters or quadcopters, and while they aren’t parking in parking lots for cars, but could still end up landing in what equates to a parking space. In New York City, they are already presenting plans to expand an air taxi hub on a pier in lower Manhattan to transport people and goods to and from the city, and it looks like a bunch of parking spaces with a logistics facility attached.
