Flying Taxis May Be Closer to Reality Than You Think

Flying cars have been part of the pop culture imagination for decades. Recently, companies from tech, aircraft, finance, and automotive industries have been looking to develop air taxi services within the next decade. These taxis might even be utilizing AI to fly themselves.

Just last week, Uber predicted that a service called “Uber Air” might be flying passengers within the next five or ten years.
