…Uber in accelerating the eVTOL initiative” John Langford, CEO, Aurora Uber is also working with NASA, the FAA, and the National Air Traffic Control Association to work on a different approach to air traffic control. Flying Cars Building out the infrastructure is just one part of the puzzle. The other roadblock is perfecting an all-electric VTOL plane that is quiet enough that it could be used to bring people from the cities to the suburbs, or even across cities, in a short amount of time. Uber, for now, has decided not to build its own aircraft, but partner with other…
