Ther argument (and I'm not saying this is valid or not), is that the largest costs relating to helicopter travel (other than environmental) are the cost of training and maintaining a pilot's license, cost of fuel and parts, insurance relating to mechanical and pilot error, and air traffic control overheads.
Evtol evangelists claim that the relative mechanical simplicity of the new aircraft combined with automated ATC and flight will drive down the cost of using them to the point of being an Uber style service for the masses. When the tech is more mature and embedded anyway.
Glad to hear people who commute in helicopters have something to look forward to.
