This is Hexa, A personal helicopter with the prize of $250 K . You can fly this with either a joystick or your tablet. It also have parachute attachment just in case you end up crashing. It is said to be so easy to fly that you can learn flying it in an hour or 2. It is not yet commercially available but you can now rent it for 250 hours per hour. You are not allowed to fly it in the city , You can only fly it in the vicinities of the manufacturer.

Imagine the alcoholic celebrities getting their dirty paws on this one.

To much propellers for me. Better they used one big or two than so many. It looks more like drone.
But this first step to flying cars. We need better and smaller engine. Properllers use to much space.

I think the multiple propellers is like the extra wheels for children's bicycles. Since its meant to be piloted by people who are not professionals.

In one way it is. If you lose few you can still land somewhere. Little rough but still more safer then you lose only propeler you have.
Flaw is harder to maintaince and craft is slower and can't go so high as with one big. To small amout of buoyancy.

I think this is more for enjoyment than transport. I think this copter being is slow is the reason why its beginner friendly in the first place.
