Absolutely, but they're not really the target market though, are they? In the context of Paris (where the quote is from), I can imagine ferrying well-off tourists from the centre to Eurodisney in 15 or 20 years' time. It might be "progress" from helicopters only carrying millionaires, but that's not really going to change commuter transit IMO.
@wjrh on that artist impression there's 6 or 7 aircrafts. A quick Google suggest there are 1550 taxis in Atlanta, on top of which you need to add Ubers and Lyfts. Do we really expect cities with several thousands of those in the air?
