Aerotaxis for the rich already exist: helicopters, Gulfstream, etc.

Or a 747 with everything inside gold plated if you're a Saudi Prince.

Can't land a helicopter at the club without a bunch of pansies whining about "public safety", as if a few heads on the street is such a big deal.

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.
