This is only going to change travel around New York for rich people.

What constitutes a premium car service is up for debate,
but it appears to cost a minimum of $200, compared to $11.75 on public transport.
The Joby might be quieter than a helicopter, but for now, most New Yorkers will be stuck with the subway.
