Among the many research and development projects being carried out in Uber Today I want us to talk about the one in which they intend to develop flying cars. This is not the first time we have talked about this issue and with what intentions it is being developed, although the truth is that we did not know data such as the state of the same.
Apparently Uber's flying cars are much more developed than we could imagine since, as has been commented from the company itself, its managers believe that they will be able to start testing them in 2020 in cities as different in terms of culture and development as Dallas, in the United States, and Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
Dubai and Dallas are chosen for the first tests that Uber will carry out on its flying cars.
As he commented Jeff holde, Uber product manager during the presentation of this same project:
Urban aviation is the natural next step for Uber. We are working to make the 'press a button and get a flight'.
In addition to these statements, we have also learned that, at least in this project, Uber is not alone but has signed agreements with several companies that will help it with its development. It is especially striking, in this sense, that one of them is a estate, which will be in charge of detecting the best buildings so that the flying cars can land while, for the manufacturing specialists such as Embraer or Aurora Flight Sciences will be in charge of them.
Uber is undoubtedly determined to put all the meat on the grill and, as a good technology company, it wants not to miss the opportunity to be present in one of the sectors that, sooner or later, is destined to revolutionize the world. In this you will not be alone either since other companies of the stature, for example, Airbus, already working on similar ideas.
