Uber’s Flying Car Project Revealed, Say GoodBye To Traffic Jams And Hello To Uber Elevate

Uber has announced its plan to launch aviation services called Uber Elevate. This announcement was made through a massive whitepaper release where Uber gave details on its plan to launch "on-demand aviation" service.

This ambitious project where Uber is working on a 'flying car project' was anticipated by many. If this project comes true then a two hour and twelve minutes tramp from San Francisco to San Jose will turn into fifteen minutes breezy drive by Uber's flying car. Also, a two hour and ten minutes slog through Sao Paolo gridlock will just be an 18 minutes ride.

Uber has fundamentally challenged the way we think about transportation, startup valuation, and labor. This project, if comes true will a great relieve for people who travel intercity on daily basis. Uber foresees it's 'on-demand aviation' service or 'flying car taxi' services to be a fleet of lightweight and electric aircraft to take off and land vertically from Uber helicopters and skyscraper. The company has also planned to introduce VTOL, which stands for vertical take-off and landing, vee-to.

The Uber Flying cars will operate on fixed wings and tilt prop-rotors. They will be fifteen-decibel calmer than normal helicopters. These aircraft can fly up to 100 miles in a single charge at 150 mph, Uber is also planning an automotive operation for its fleet of flying cars, reported Wired.

No doubt, Uber flying cars is a revolution in the personal autonomous aviation field. Since, there is already an air traffic system and several government agencies in place, who can take care of flight landing, take-offs and flight paths, is will be easy for Uber to use the already set-up system and to further leverage on it. It is also interesting to note that the probability of any kind of vehicle collision is very less on-air as compared to on roads, reported Medium.

This project "Uber Elevate" will definetely change our lives, let's wait until this project goes live.
