It’s an incredible time to be alive, especially in Texas, as so many technological advances are going on all around us. Most of us are wrapping our heads around A.I. and figuring out how it can help simplify our life.  

But since we were kids, we have seen cartoons like The Jetsons that had us dreaming of flying cars. Well, flying taxis might not be too far away according to some experts. 

Move Over Self-Driving Vehicles, Now We Want to Fly 

It’s crazy that there are now self-driving vehicles on the road. Which is great, but I think people are more excited about the possibility to not be stuck in traffic and instead be able to fly to your destination.

Joby Aviation has partnered with Delta Air Lines and Archer Aviation is working with United Airlines on this new technology.  

Flying Taxis Will Be the Future of Transportation 

These flying taxis are known as eVTOLs or ‘electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle’. And many transportation experts say that these are the future of transportation as they can go speeds of 200 miles per hour, with a range of around 100 miles. 

While I am excited for this new technology, I want to let other people work out the kinks of these new eVTOLs. After I see them working for a while and no one is being injured or killed, then I would feel comfortable looking into one of these for transportation purposes.
