As quoted by "The Week":
It seems 2024 could finally be the year that so-called "flying cars" take to the skies. Technically known as eVTOL aircraft, standing for "electric vertical take-off and landing", dozens of companies around the world have been in a race to develop a "quieter, cheaper and emission-free aircraft, that can land right in the heart of cities", said the BBC's technology of business editor Ben Morris.
These could become commercially available in some US cities in 2024, reported CNBC, even if "regulations for managing the new form of air traffic will be a concern".
Hugh Martin, from Lacuna Technologies, which helps cities create transportation policies, told the news network there was a difference between when cars can fly and when they will be safe and reliable for navigating the skies.
It was hoped the world's first electric air taxi network would be available in time for the Paris Olympics but the city council has rejected the pioneering scheme as noisy, elitist and pointless. Enter Donald Trump, who has set out a vision of a Jetsons-inspired commute should he be re-elected in November.
Remark: This can mean private, expensive, invite lists in any city around the world where you can be in a flying car from one place to another (possibly like Waymo in SF).
