Ride-hailing app Uber has announced that it will start its ambitious flying taxi project in Los Angeles in 2020 to deal with the city’s traffic problem. When Uber’s Chief Product Officer Jeff Holden revealed the plan at the Web Summit, a technology conference in Lisbon, the company also posted a 100-second-long video clip advertising the flying taxi project named “Elevate”, reports Xinhua news agency.
In the video, a working mom books a flight through her Uber app and goes to a “Skyport” on the roof of a nearby building. After her order code is scanned in her cell phone, she gets into an Uber flying taxi, a plane-helicopter hybrid aircraft with fixed wings and tilt prop-rotors. The flying taxi takes the woman back to another “roof airport”, where an Uber vehicle taxi is waiting for her. She returns home to her children without suffering any stress from daily commute.
