Uber and Joby Aviation unveil electric air taxi, aiming for commercial flights in Dubai by 2026, with potential expansion to NY, LA, UK, and Japan. The aircraft, with six propellers and four batteries, promises a 320 km/h speed and quieter operation than helicopters. Uber plans to integrate flight bookings into their app, offering a price comparable to Uber Black. The company envisions this as the next step after ground ridesharing, with potential to save time in congested cities. Joby is discussing approval with Australias air regulator, eyeing the Brisbane Olympic Games as a potential launch event.
