Uber Reveals More Info on Flying Taxi Project

Description

At the Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal Wednesday, Uber’s head of product Jeff Holden discussed plans for the company's flying taxis program 'Elevate'. In a presentation, Holden revealed that Los Angeles will be the third city Uber plans to use as a test site for its project by 2020, adding, "LA is one of the most congested cities in the world today." Dallas and Dubai have already been chosen as the first two cities for initial test sites for 'Elevate' in April 2018. According to Uber, the aircrafts will be electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles. They will also use distributed electric propulsion which will allow them to fly you around while making very little noise.
