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.
