Hyundai is 昭和 海外ポルノ映画working on flying taxis for Uber.
At CES in Las Vegas on Monday, the companies announced a prototype concept for a new plane meant to eventually pick up passengers who order flights through Uber Air's flight-sharing service. Uber Air is supposed to take off from Dallas, Los Angeles, and Melbourne as soon as 2023. The service is meant for longer commutes.
"It's taking Uber to the sky," Eric Allison, head of Uber Elevate, which operates Uber Air, said at a CES event. As he explained, Uber isn't about to start making air taxis. So Hyundai can build the crafts for them.
