Sky Lanes Are Backed Up To A Standstill over New Tokyo Skies Today

RT featured an article that Google et all and Gov about:Drone Air Traffic control for the Twenty-First Century. see article here

 But I say, what about real-people, artificial-people, cyborg-people or enhanced animals  who fly or self-fly Skycars or Uber*SkyCars or GoogleUberSkyCars or AppleiFlyCars in the future? Are they to be treated just like helicopters and aircraft today? The more crowded the skies, the more multi-level lanes and areas we'll need. They had also better be environmentally-friendly -not deadly. Somewhat ironically, I'd prefer to see people surgically attach giant wings to themselves instead of using jet fuel. I'm more of a bio mimicry engineering approach kinda guy. The bio-winged could eat hempseed and forge for berries and food, sustaining their bodies for flight while planting seeds from the poop. Speaking of faecal matter from these future Aves Hominus  creatures, old-fashioned or grounded Homo Sapiens will have to (pun inteded) keep an eagle-eye and look out for pooping wingmen over cities. But if someone above poops on you while you're driving your old-fashioned ground car convertible in Mumbai or Toronto, is that good luck? I suppose it depends on your state of mind or if you're in a ground traffic jam. Speaking of which, maybe the majority of future aircraft must be able to hover because of the future air traffic jams and descent patterns over the increasing height of skyscrapers and airparking spaces. I can imagine the air traffic news feed of the future: "Skylane 11 is jam packed today and the UV index in very high. Any skyvehicle  without proper sunscreen protection will be ticketed and their insurance providers will be immediately notified. Expect delays. If you leave your Skylane for reasons besides an emergency which will be determined by the legal-google-vehcicle cam feed, you will be automatically ticketed and your insurance provider will be immediately notified. 100s of deaths have been already been reported over the skies of New Tokyo 3 months into the new year. That's double the amount of 2040s skydeaths mostly due to skydrivers leaving their lanes because they did not have their emergency rations. 10 deaths from the bio-winged community have also been reported this year so far, although most are still under review, being suspected as suicides by attempting to fly in undesignated skylanes of oncoming airtraffic. The Global Medical Aves Hominus Index has reported that most people who get only basic bio-wing packages and cannot afford the extra-foraging costs of time and money may be a contributing factor in their deaths, causing them to seek suicide or fall from the sky from malnutrition.  News feed brought to you by Nissan.

Thanks, but I'll stick with the deluxe raptor wing implant procedure from Wingman Corp with one year supply of pre-packaged wild organic hemp seed and air-trail nut mix thank you very much. I like to mimic nature and neither toil or weep, dude.
