Stop trying to make flying cars happen.
You said that about robot butlers, and now you’ve got a tube in your kitchen that turns the lights on and off when you ask it to – so how about a little bit of patience, eh? This is UberAir, and while it does look a lot like the countless other flying-car concepts that have appeared over the years, this one isn’t just blue-sky thinking: the taxi-in-your-pocket company has already signed up five aerospace companies to make its all-electric aircraft, and the plan is to have them actually in the air by 2023. Besides, it’s not a flying car, it’s a VTOL.
