Move over Uber and Lyft. Flying taxis are on their way to becoming a reality!
Technology :
If you grew up watching THE JETSONS cartoon, you’ve been waiting a lifetime for the promise of flying cars. Well, would you settle for a flying taxi?
Joby Aviation Inc. has announced that it will build taxis that fly in a new facility to be located in Dayton, Ohio (home of the Wright Brothers).
The new, electric air machines will hold a pilot and 4 passengers and will travel at a speed of up to 200 MPH with a range of 100 miles. The taxis will look like a cross between a helicopter and a drone and will take off and land vertically. It’ll make a trip such as going from Manhattan to JFK Airport 10 times faster and more affordable than a traditional taxi.

THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY!
OK WASSUP! discusses Technology News:
Flying taxis will be built in Ohio.
This does remind me kinda sorta of the Jetsons. 🙂
My sibs and I enjoyed watching that cartoon as kids and even as adults whenever we catch it on whatever Cartoon Network that it’s being shown it on..Lol
But the truth is, I’m afraid of flying. I do fly now and then but only when I absolutely have to…so even if this idea actually becomes a real thing I would definitely be among the very last people to try it!
TGIF!
