I do think it's probably more of a cool toy than a practical solution like a train. But, as long as it doesn't take away from building more trains, I'm not too bothered. It's also kinda cool to see them pushing the boundaries of technology. People have been dreaming about flying cars for ages, and now it's like a symbol of the future. So, these things show off how advanced China has become in a way everyone can see.
