UNMANNED AIR TAXIS – TRANSFORMING TRAVEL!

TECHNOLOGY IS DEEMED AS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLESSINGS of our time but the speed at which technological advancements are happening, it is surely exciting with a pinch of anxiousness. Technology is certainly transforming the way we lived. What Albert Einstein once remarked seems to hold all the more significance now, “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.”

When it comes to technological advancements, the human mind has known no limits. Be it with the computer, the automobile, the airplane, or the mobile, human intelligence has only grown by leaps and bounds. The insatiable need for humans has often surprised the world with innovation and with each advancement, convenience just keeps getting more and more accessible. We have had automobiles and airplanes and even space rockets for quite some time now and the constant upgradation in technology and the advent of automation along with artificial intelligence is ready to change the transportation scenario in the world with self-driven cars, automated trains, unmanned cars, and now with unmanned flight concept that will soon transform sky transportation.

In an attempt to make affordable electrically-powered air commute for shorter distances without and to mark the biggest transition that we have seen in travelling, the “flying taxis” of the future are almost here.
