There's a whole world outside of the USA.


Sure, but 11% of the global population fly in a year

And how many of those are regular vs. irregular trips?

Probably not enough to make the statement that flying is a situation people find themselves in regularly.


Yeah, but “Rest of World cannot afford luxury travel” is not a notable fact. The US is rich. Americans are rich. For many things, the US is the only market where it’s feasible. A self-driving car is useless in India (1/6 of all people), for instance. Labour costs are too low.

It’s clear the Vision Pro didn’t find its market but I don’t think it’s an air travel thing.
