"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

The fear of the swinging blades of death on top are going to mean take off and landings will end up regulated to private land, airfields, or helicoptor pads. That isn't saying they are a terrible idea, since they are little helicoptors you can drive on the road, but it isn't going to be something that will be allowed to land in a parking lot around the general public for an easy transition from flying to driving.
That, and marketing these as flying "cars" is always nonsensical to begin with. Such a thing is not and never will be for general public use. People already can't drive safely in two dimensions, so anyone expects motherfuckers to be able to operate in three? Forget it.
