Ingolstadt is a member of the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) Initiative project, within which it is possible to use passenger unmanned flying vehicles in urban environments. CityAirbus will carry up to four passengers on regular routes, for example, from the airport to downtown. It is assumed that over time, the flying taxis will become fully unmanned and will serve as an efficient alternative to ground public transportation. These air taxis can be used in the field of health, for example, to quickly transport doctors, donated blood or organs for emergency operations. electric air taxi #flying taxi #flying carVia https://www.electrichunter.com/commercial-vehicles/airbus-unveils-electric-air-taxi-cityairbus Fisker revealed the first images of an electric SUV that will compete with the recently unveiled Tesla Model Y.
