Uber Moves Ahead With Its Plans For Flying Cars, But Is Their Timeline Too Ambitious
Flying cars may not be that far away. Uber says it is still committed to its plans for urban aircraft. The ride-hailing company will be holding an event in L.A. in May to demonstrate Uber's plans to have launch flying cars in 10 years.
Scott Evans, Editor at Motor Trend, says the timeline is a bit too ambitious. Evans points to Honda, which recently built its first plane, and that took more than 10 years. Honda's plane, Evans says, is just like other private jets on the market. Uber wants to create an entirely new product that doesn't exist.
If you wanted to previously find an image that perfectly matched what you saw in your head online, you had to type in a wordy search inquiry and would get countless results back. Now, that mental snapshot can be crafted in seconds by artificial intelligence and sometimes it’s even better than you could imagine.
Google on Wednesday disclosed plans to infuse its dominant search engine with more advanced artificial-intelligence technology, a drive that's in response to one of the biggest threats to its long-established position as the internet's main gateway.
