Flying cars to make transportation easier.

Flying cars to hit the sky soon, uber is in the fore front of bringing flying cars to reality and soon it will be in main cities before it goes worldwide. It says it intends to start testing the prototype of the taxi in 2020 in Dallas-Fort Worth and Los Angeles with plans to rollout globally in 2023.

Uber intends to start with human pilots and then gradually evolve to automatic flight system quicky. As this transition takes place, the system’s capacity will increase and operational costs will be reduced, meaning that an air taxi will pretty much cost the same as its bog standard Uber X.

it wants its aerial taxis to be able to fly at speeds of between 240 km/h and 320 km/h, at altitudes of between 300 and 600 meters. It says they make about the same noise as a truck. They will take off and land from specially designed facilities or modified roofs, approximately every 24 seconds. They could also use other buildings, or on the ground in specially designated areas, and are being touted as a solution to traffic problems.
The concept is all-electric, and seats four people plus a pilot, in
single file in a slim, cylindrical body with large windows. The
design, reminiscent of a catamaran, features streamlined
nacelles suspended high on each side, on slender supports.
These are the battery pods. On top of each, and atop two
smaller, even farther outboard pods, sit stacked rotors, which
provide the electric vertical lift for takeoff and landing.

The concept is supposed to cruise at between 150 and 200 miles
per hour, up to 2,000 feet above the ground. A single charge
will be good enough for 60 miles of range, and Uber expects
the thing to need just five minutes to top up the batteries
between flights.
