The blades being out in the open concerns me, but I get it. Cutting costs wherever possible is needed for a v1 startup product.

Probably more about cutting weight than cutting cost. Airplane props and helicopter blades are also out in the open.

If two of the eight motors fails do you crash and burn?

Well considering the "Safety is our priority" section says it can fly with the loss of one motor I'd assume 2 motors lost is a life changing event.

They say it also has a ballistic parachute.

“Flying Cars Are Here, And You Can Buy This One For Less Than $100,000” - Forbes Total Price: $128,000 Hmmm…

People pay more for ugly trucks. Average car is almost half of this. Seems quite cheap if you can actually make it work for you, not just a toy.

Which isn't going to do you a lot of good 20-30, even 100 feet off the ground.
