What is it about?
On-demand aviation encompasses the vision of on-demand air taxis which are as easy to operate or easier than automobiles, with initial safety superior to automobiles and with a long-term goal of safety equivalent to air carriers. This paper discusses human-machine interfaces in planes, trains, and automobiles, rating the degree of automation available by function, and identifying shortfalls and strengths in existing systems.

Why is it important?
Simple, affordable, safe and accessible on demand transportation is available in cars but faces ground congestion. Moving the demand for transport to air frees many constraints especially congestion, but requires automation to make on-demand flying easier and safer. This paper examines where we are in the use of automation to accomplish that. It tracks how far we have to go and catalogs the current advances and products in the field. The paper summarizes with a cataloging of gaps in human-automation interfaces.
