Pulse is a piloted aircraft that can transport a medic or EMT trained to pilot it. The pilot flies while standing up and looks out a large window to see where to go and land.

Instead of picking patients up and taking them to a hospital, Pulse allows help to arrive quicker than current technology does.

“They fly themselves to the scene of the emergency, they get out with their life-saving equipment and they go and they stabilize the patient,” Dietrich said. “They stay with the patient until the ambulance shows up, and then oftentimes they’ll actually go with the patient because they know the most about the patient at that moment.”

and what you are failing to realize is... How is that different than there simply being a bystander that understands the concepts of CPR and BASIC first-aid?!?!

This is NOTHING but a product to be sold to morons that do not understand the most basic fundamentals of first aid and how available such skills SHOULD be amongst the populace.

If the difference between life and death is someone who has NO SUPPORTING EQUIPMENT WHAT SO EVER and some random bystandter being there ... you're already fucked by a society that does not respect basic understanding of anything...
