World's first flying car 🚁👀

Last-mile transportation is heaaaaating up. 👀

Decentralized scooter company Bird is raising at $2B valuation less than a year after they started. Dockless bicycle startup JUMP was acquired by Uber for $200M earlier this year. 12 different companies have applied for scooter permits... in San Francisco alone.

Not all last-mile solutions have wheels. 🚁

Flying cars have arrived, and Casey Neistat got a sneak peak. Meet the Kitty Hawk, a personal drone backed by Google co-founder Larry Paige.

"Oh my god, this thing is so f*cking fun." We can see why. Check out Casey's video review. The soundtrack is dope.

Scooters and helicopters aren't the only competitors in the space:

🛩️ The Flyride actually lets you fly, powered by water.

👟 Low-tech Flaneurz convert your sneakers into clip-on rollerskates.

🕳️ Elon Musk's Boring Company wants to build tunnels that criss-cross your city and cut your entire commute down to minutes. They just got a $1B contract from the city of Chicago.

📈 The Onewheel is a self-balancing electric skateboard with only one wheel. Modern version of the hoverboards that went #viral last year.

Someone built an API to detect NSFW images. We cannot confirm whether it uses Jian-Yang's proprietary Not-A-Hotdog algorithm. 😳🌭
