That’s a heck of a lot of avionics for what is basically a very short haul VFR-only aircraft.

My thoughts, Exactly!

That is a lot of avionics but remember these are going to be highly automated aircraft that will most likely will be flown on predesignated routes around a city. For example a city center to a eVTOL landing pad near your house (think highway in the sky). The aircraft will fly route that is basically a RNP approach from takeoff to landing. This will aid in avoiding towers and tall building because these aircraft will be flying at a lower altitude. Also there is a good chance in the future the person will have some type of rating only to fly the eVTOL and not a normal commercial license. VFR only is only the first step and my guess IFR will be something we see in the future. You will need something like the G3000 to fly in this environment.

If you automate the thing, you won’t have a cockpit. Thus, NO traditional avionics or flight instrumentation.

Sort of. You might be able to delete the display screens, but you still need a GPS receiver and an AHRS and an air data computer.

Which amounts to a firecracker in contrast to the G3000 nuclear bomb.

That will surely compensate for the planned, but still missing breakthrough in the performance department.

I want to know how well it autorotates.
