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. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
