Uber to build a flying taxi to avoid traffic jams

in #news6 years ago

During the annual Elevate Summit, Uber announced that their newest invention will be UberAir, a flying taxi. This way they want to avoid delays caused by traffic jams.

To develop the aircraft, they partnered up with the likes of NASA and the US Army. The goal is to have the taxi's flying around in five years from now.
