The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 5 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Bevirt: Scaling air taxis to thousands in a city requires autonomy
“As you want to scale from hundreds in a community to thousands and then tens of thousands, you really want to do that with autonomy.”
Bevirt: eVTOL industry is currently at pre-Model T hand-building stage
“I think about where we are today as being akin to where automotive was in the Before, when we were still hand building them. And the question is going to be how quickly can we move from there to where Ford was when they introduced the Model T.”
Bevirt: Doubling battery density roughly triples eVTOL flight range
“Well, it's even more than that because you hold a lot of the energy and reserve for contingencies. You don't need to increase the amount of reserve that you hold. And so if you double the energy in the battery, you're actually probably getting three times the …”
Bevirt: Vertiport networks scale exponentially unlike linear ground transportation infrastructure
“The thing that's exciting about these kinds of aircraft is compared to ground-based transportation, whether that's rail or cars on the road, those are linear. And so if you want to you know, get more capacity, you need more lanes with this, you can go, you bui…”
