The most expensive thing on your list of wonders is at least 3 orders

But at least it shows that, if someone builds something that consumers
will want, before the consumers know what it is, the consumers will
still want it.
In case of low-cost PAV, it is already known that the consumers will
want it.


No, that is not known, and to become a commondity the price has to get
down to the level of a microwave oven, which is never going to happen.


It would be hard, indeed, to bring cost of PAV too few hundred US
dollars.


But many people would be willing to pay the same for a PAV as they
would for their automobile.


A lot of people would buy an airplane if they could buy a brand new
one for $15k to $30K no matter whether it had electronic trickery in
it or not, but there is no way to get the price that low unless the
number of pilots increases by over two orders of magnitude and even
then it would be difficult to achieve.
