Uber NASA Cooperation: Establishing a Flight Rental Service Network 2023

February 24, 2024

(Original title: Flying Taxis? Uber and NASA Just Paired Up to Make That Happen)


Netease Technology News November 9 news, Uber Co., Ltd. is further close to build their own flying cars, and has signed an agreement with NASA on Wednesday to develop a flying taxi by 2020. The goal of this project is to create a vertical and up-and-down car transportation network. This project will not only greatly reduce commuting but also help us alleviate the problem of tail gas pollution in big cities.

Although the cooperation between Uber and NASA may seem strange, the relationship between the two is inevitable. When Uber finally enters the airspace, it must ensure that everything runs smoothly. Uffi’s chief product director, Jeff Holden, said: “The first sign we signed with NASA is cooperation in air traffic management.” With so many flying vehicles appearing in low airspace, this cooperation helps them to manage air traffic.

Uber also announced that Los Angeles will be the second U.S. city to conduct air traffic service testing. Fort Worth, Dallas, is Uber’s first US partner and Dubai is the first global partner. Holden said he expects Uber to complete his first flight demonstration by 2020 and that commercial services will be available by 2023. This time just before the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the influx of athletes and fans from all over the world will bring greater traffic pressure to already crowded cities. Flying taxis will be a good solution to this dilemma.

Uber plans to establish 20 points around the city of Los Angeles for the network of flying taxis. In the video released by Uber, we can see that flying a taxi is like setting a seat on an airplane. A flying taxi will start to rise and fall. Holden said: "This is also a very inspiring way to travel. You can take off and land with a push of a button."

If everything can proceed smoothly as planned, the way to fly a taxi will also be very economical. The exchange between San Francisco and San Jose usually takes 2 hours and costs 111 dollars, while a flying taxi will reduce the time to 15 minutes. According to Uber, the initial cost of the air traffic route is $129, and it will be reduced to $43 in the short-term and to $20 in the future.

Holden said he is convinced that Uber will follow the project's timeline, and he hopes that when people finally take the air transport, they can see it as a life-changing and amazing experience. He claimed: "This type of transportation will give people the opportunity to achieve a faster round-trip between the two places." Not only that, he also hopes that the cost of flying taxis will satisfy passengers.

While Uber stepped into the air, Musk turned his eyes to the ground. His Boring company is tunneling in the Los Angeles area. Last month, Musk announced the first photo of this underground tunnel. Musk hopes that cars and people will be able to use the electric sledge in the tunnel to achieve transportation travel. The sledge board will carry cars and passengers at designated locations on the ground and then enter the tunnel through an elevator. The speed of the sleigh board in the tunnel will reach 150 mph (about 240 kilometers per hour), so that people can get to their destination faster and make traffic jams history. (passer)
