Uber partners with Hyundai on electric air taxi via SABCNewsOnline

Hyundai will produce and deploy the vehicles while Uber will provide aerial ride-share services.

Uber and Hyundai, for instance, gave widely different timelines for commercialisation, underlining these challenges. Hyundai is the first carmaker to join Uber’s air taxi project, which also counts Boeing subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences among its partner firms.Uber, which has partnered with eight companies on its air taxi project, however, acknowledged it would be “unrealistic” to expect all its partners to go to market at the same time.

“The overall cost to produce and operate UAM vehicles should be really low enough for everyone to enjoy the freedom to fly,” Shin Jai-won, Head of Urban Air Mobility Division at Hyundai Motor, said.
