Uber shows off its vision for future 'flying taxi'

A model of Uber's electric vertical take-off and landing vehicle concept (eVTOL) -- a cross between a helicopter and a drone -- was displayed at the second annual Uber Elevate Summit in Los Angeles. "Our goal is to radically improve global mobility," said Uber Aviation product chief Nikhil Goel. "We fly a lot so we can prove to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and the public that these aircraft are safe," he said.
