South Korea’s leading automaker Hyundai and American company General Motors are preparing to introduce flying cars. Both companies have told me about their plans, that they are serious about a flying car (flying car, taxi) and are working fast on it. On the one hand, Hyundai says it will start operating a flying taxi by 2025, while General Motors, on the other hand, says it will take about 9 years. General Motors plans to launch its first air taxi service by 2030.
In fact, at the Reuters Events Car of the Future conference on Monday, Hyundai’s global chief executive, Jose Munoz, said the company would soon launch an air taxi. Munoz, who is the CEO of Hyundai North America, said air taxi operations could begin at US airports by 2028 or earlier. We are working fast in this direction and there is tremendous potential in this area.
According to media reports, Hyundai Electric is building a battery-powered air taxi that can accommodate 5 to 6 people simultaneously. Let us tell you that Hyundai has a dedicated Urban Air Mobility division, which is headed by former NASA engineer Jaiwan Shin. The company has already pledged to invest around $ 1.5 billion in the project by 2025.
At the same time, General Motors showcased the future flying Cadillac vehicle at the CES event in January. It can take take-off and land on its own and fly in the air. This single-passenger Cadillac flying car can drop and take off from the roof of the home as a drone. This car can fly at speeds of up to 88 kilometers per hour.
At a Reuters event, Vice President of GM’s Global Innovation Team, Pamela Fletcher, said, “I think we have to go a long way. There is a lot of work to be done in every direction.
