Its quite conceivable that some massively AI traffic control will take 
over your personal quad-copter and shunt you into traffic lanes and get 
you to your destination where your onboard AI will land you.

Does anyone remember the 'Quest of the DNA cowboys' my Mick Farren in 
which series everybody ordered anything they wanted from 'Stuff Central' 
a sort of prescient Amazon - and the material was sourced from areas of 
reality know as the 'nothings' because there was nothing left there anymore.

Sometimes I think that is where we are headed...well apart from the 
grave/personal incinerator, anyway.
