The future and flying automobiles

Flying cars may become a realistic fantasy within the next decade





Aeromobile recently showed a prototype clip of a flying taxi service called Elevate that Uber plans to put into play within the next ten years or less.
Uber has approached Aurora Flight Sciences, Bell Helicopter, Embraer, Mooney, and Pipistrel Aircraft companies to team up and build a fleet of flying cars.
If successful, the cars will carry up to four passengers and take off like helicopters in a vertical direction. These vehicles will be electric and fully autonomous. Each car will take off from vertiports, similar to an airport.


Althought talk of flying cars seems premature, Elevate is expected to launch by 2023.

  1. Andi, interesting developments. Might also keep abreast of Terra Fugia which is a Woburn, MA company spun out of MIT. https://www.terrafugia.com/about-terrafugia/
