Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) technology is playing an increasingly important role in modern aviation. These electric-powered vehicles are capable of autonomous travel in urban environments, carrying passengers to their designated destinations. The design of eVTOLs is primarily aimed at relieving congestion in urban transport and reducing carbon emissions. However, it is debated whether these aircraft should operate with full autonomy or whether human control is still needed.
