Electric air taxi makes maiden voyage in NYC

[@oshib7]

Interesting. I would like to take a ride in it one day.

[@Zuxiro]

Air taxi is that you can actually get to the Bronx within like 3 minutes depending on where you heading to

[@9monava]

WOW! How can you not be excited by something like this?

[@theboringchannel2027]

most people have luggage when headed to the airport.

[@phantom8810]

Awesome 👍💯🇺🇸

[@Unleaded93]

1 bad ride, will ruin this company.

[@Bart-dg6qv]

Keep your iphones steady people! And for God's sake horizontally.

[@jameschristiansson3137]

Fair weather friend.

[@jl6075]

Situational awareness alert must look on top too

[@naturaljustice4654]

Next step, airport in Central Park, CP Airport.

[@WilliamEnwerem-c8h]

I can't wait till the flying taxi cabs come out in 2025

[@johnwayne4911]

backed by Eric Adams? nah im good.

[@theboringchannel2027]

r/dumb

[@Tony_01989]

Lol $200 per seat nooooo way

[@Thediverge]

It will take decades to use for general public…

[@ovalwingnut]

Mr. Diverge, you are wise beyond your years...

[@anna-mariageorgiades3628]

Well we've been traveling around the world by airplanes and helicopters. Why would this seem weird ?

[@CreativeStreamD]

UBER - left the chat

[@TOKEN511]

Finally I don't have to take the bus anymore

[@seanpetaia]

Boy that will take more then just one day

[@WilliamEnwerem-n3n]

I think that would be cool to get in a flying taxi cab

[@j26a24d]

Ya paso por mi área y me extraños tan silencios cercano al aeropuerto jfk

[@vlogall219]

How could I know more about being an Air Uber driver in the NYC in future? Anybody knows a bit about it? Thank you.

[@tommyzelle1312]

Try regard Uber first….

[@113_gaming7]

U need a pilots license

[@imrytebeehyneu]

$200 a pop for one seat? Jesus!!

[@thabreaka]

Jesus would pay that to not have to walk on water all the time.

[@vlad1000]

Yeah, $200 is too much money

[@magamonkeys4329]

Electric? Over the city. What could possibly go wrong?

[@user-et6se3hl1v]

And no one asked about their safety in the rain snow over salt water or weight capacity? Put two big sisters in that thing and I might trust it.

[@thabreaka]

What is a maiden voyage?

[@mcRydes]

I wonder if they will fly in bad weather? If flights are repeatedly getting canceled at the last minute nobody will bother going through the hassle of dealing with it.

[@Unleaded93]

So green...... that it is made completely of plastic and non recyclable fiberglass.......

[@ELYELYELroy]

what do you expect it to made out of? its greener than a conventional helicopter. It must be hard having mush for a brain, im rooting for you:(

[@Unleaded93]

Thanks, that makes you and my mother.......😂

[@Unleaded93]

@@ELYELYELroy tell that to the minors in Africa, mining that cobalt for your "green ride".......

[@ELYELYELroy]

idgaf about them, and neither do you. Plus many companies like tesla don't use battery's with cobalt anymore. Pretty funny that your still thinking about this thread 24hrs later, you really do have mush for a brain.@@Unleaded93

[@shonevans2563]

Uber would replace every driver if they could with unmanned machines if they could .

[@zachflannery6750]

Uber is a partner

[@WilliamEnwerem-n3n]

Flying taxicabs to be in the United States by 2025

[@WilliamEnwerem-n3n]

I'm looking forward to flying cars in sky

[@sgala7920]

It takes 45 minutes to get to where these eVotals start the commute? Or it has non-invasive flight landing at my door step in crappy busy NY without bothering the neighbors and road traffic? Still pay like $300/400.00 range to the airport and go through all the gating hassle? Bet a good hour plus when all is done, I rather hire a nice limo, relax and enjoy a spacious comfy ride 😅

[@Janisarahmed]

hope its battery is not as bad as a Tesla

[@Mike-hz4cp]

Tesla's battery is great! The new one is eben better

[@sachinrathod2509]

In case of accident, no passager will survive similar to airplane crash & wherever it falls it will destroy buildings of city. It will be dangerous especially for big cities where there are big buildings. Terrorist will use them to do 9/11 like small attacks on buildings. Government need to very careful because human drivers will do lot of accidents, didn't they?

[@Blackened88]

$200 per seat 🤣 the average person will not be using this. who is their target audience?

[@kellyhennessy7212]

Might be too dandgerous

[@rsvbreezi]

its a dji phantom 4 drone , all he did was copy their drone and made it available for seating, a drone can fly fast and go into lost mode and land itself and tons of other shit he stole the drone company

[@marcinkwasnik7614]

cool taxi, I just don't see what "clean, green way" is the mayor of NYC talking about . If he wants to travel in a clean green way than he should take a ******* hike! Every politician is talking that same nonsense, it's tiresome.

[@kylemose8874]

Blade Runner tech but nah I’ll stick with driving.

[@ravisriram6746]

Interesting idea, but I would hate to know what sort of fares they're going to be charging, if and when this service becomes a reality. Why can't we put the time, effort and money into improving our mass transit system, instead?

[@tyresehanse1864]

$200 a seat

[@theboringchannel2027]

these are private companies, not government sponsored.

[@theboringchannel2027]

hard to improve mass transit, when the animals are constantly destroying what is in place already.

[@ThisAccountIsDead333]

The same price as an Uber Black It’s going to be rideshare through Uber aswell

[@BritainRitten]

"Electric means it runs quietly." I'm sorry but that's grossly mistaken. The sound you hear of a helicopter is the blades chopping the wind, not its engine running. Electric motors won't help that noise issue at all.

[@isidroco]

That's because attack angle is changed on each blade every half turn (or else it would lift a lot more when going against the wind and it would end up crashing). With six propellers turning in opposite directions, blades are fixed and noise is minimized.

[@justicewillprevail1106]

Mayor Adam..blah blah blah.. he should focus on the crime rate instead.

[@kevinjeter3919]

ehang ehang

[@WilliamEnwerem-o3p]

When are you flying tax cabs in West Virginia we need flying taxi cabs in Kentucky we need flying taxi cabs in Ohio we need flying taxi cabs to come to United States

[@nancyvalenti3656]

Electric??? No thank you!

[@AnonymousOmniscience]

The device you wrote that on is also electric. You should get rid of that so I don’t have to read your empty-headed comments.

[@kmrocheck]

not a pointless good step!!!!!!!

[@av_cali4958]

But it still looks like a plane 🙄🙄

[@Tony_01989]

I don’t trust that and you might lose your life, if something happened to one of the propellers actually.. and I prefer to stay on land or boat if needed

[@SwordOfApollo]

Joby's aircraft has six propellers. It can still fly if it loses one.

[@fft1256]

เป็นกำลังใจให้ครับผม🇺🇸🌏🤝🇹🇭🙏❤🚁🚜

[@TheDAT573]

2025 is just around the corner. They will be operational by then. Great!

[@lincolngardens661]

BS make public transportation FREE!!!

[@durece100]

Not free. No other public transportation is fare-free.

[@taracushingberry1]

🤏🎥

[@ovalwingnut]

On your way to the airport? They'll send a 2nd aircraft back for your bags. Seeing how you are required to leave you phone, keys, wallet or purse behind due to the additional weight... And 7 min? Yes, that's exactly how long it will take. The future will be hear soon enough (remember Amazon air deliveries?), just not yet. Face palm.

something else for the rich

About time.

[@blu3cobra]

yeah now show us how much damage to the earth was created to build the battery for these taxi's

[@Bart-dg6qv]

This is to difficult question for leftist.

[@theboringchannel2027]

slightly more damage than was caused by the production of your phone, tv or computer at work. But your concern about others is admirable, while ignoring your own damage to the earth.

[@blu3cobra]

@@theboringchannel2027 throw your devices out then and don't respond so that I know that you did :)

[@theboringchannel2027]

@@blu3cobra why should I throw my devices out? I'm not the hypocrite complaining about others damage while I ignore my own damage. Maybe think and try again, or take the loss and move on. 😁
