Uber's Upcoming Plan Is To Fly HIgh!

Uber, the hungry Silicon Valley company that turned people with cars and smartphones into a transportation fleet to rival taxis (while skirting things like labor regulations in the process), has set its sights on something much larger.

Uber is already working on driverless cars, which happily for the company exist outside of labor law, but not even unmanned driving machines are enough to satisfy Uber’s ambitions.

THE COMPANY WANTS A FLYING CAR. 

Specifically, Uber products head Jeff Holden is looking at VTOL -- “vertical takeoff and landing” -- technologies. Holden said that he has been researching the area, “so we can someday offer our customers as many options as possible to move around.” He added that “doing it in a three-dimensional way is an obvious thing to look at.”
