Everything with air taxis is estimated to be an order of magnitude more expensive than the ground version. So far it's pretty much like the difference between flying commercial and flying charter. I guess rich people invest in rich boy's toys.
Voyager uses plutonium 238 which has a half-life of 83 years. So after 50 years, its fuel has decayed too much and it's running out of power. The article didn't make that clear.
Vance doesn't know that
Global stability of always good for trade and business. The supply chains disruption with covid shows what a bit of chaos can do to businesses, so it's not entirely altruistic.

As of October 2023, 6,065 kilometres (3,769 mi) (38%) of the British rail network was electrified.
More than half is still old school

That's why NPU will have high bandwidth memory on chip. They're also low precision to save power but massively parallel. A GPU and CPU can do it too, but less optimized.
