Uber was not enough streets and roads, and she turned her gaze to the sky. During the Nantucket Conference in San Francisco, product director Jeff Holden spoke about the new direction of the company's development.

According to him, Uber was engaged in the research of vertical takeoff and landing technologies (VTOL, vertical takeoff and landing).

Flying taxis will allow passengers to move over short distances while simultaneously unloading roads. Holden expressed the hope that the company "someday will be able to offer [these vehicles] to customers as one of the options for movement."

“It can completely change the cities and the way of life and work we are used to,” he said.

The introduction of new technologies will dramatically reduce the number of traffic jams. Holden said that according to his calculations, the long journey to and from work can be shortened to 9 minutes - by using aircraft. In addition, he said that in the future, such vehicles may become unmanned.

It is noted that now Uber is at an early stage of development of the air taxi project. However, according to Holden, given how quickly the company broke into the market for unmanned vehicles, flying taxis with a vertical take-off could become a reality in 10 years.
