Uber Elevate - The future of on-demand urban air transportation by UBER

Well this looks awesome. They do keep saying, 'in true Uber fashion,' which is a weird statement.

This news is exciting! So..how will they find the long list of pilots looking to make side cash flying over cities.

Living in LA, I can definitely see the growing need for flying away from traffic jams. I am curious: how are your vehicles different from the ones designed by Terrafugia which raised capital on https://wefunder.com/terrafugia sometime ago and then I think it got acquired? Are they "related"? If not, what's the difference?

This basically would never work in European cities because of old buildings and the history of the pan-am building in NY

"ultimately less expensive than car ownership"... right.

I think you should focus A LOT on security...because I can't help but to think about bad people having access to this...please be careful Uber!!!

Pros:

ESmart

Cons:

I DON'T THINK WE areADY FOR THIS, IT IS AN AMAZING IDEA, IN A WORLD FULL OF HATE...PEOPLE ARE CLEARLY GONNA USE THIS FOR BAD THINGS

I'm with Elon Musk on this one... I don't want cars falling on my head.

The cities of other countries (nor USA), don’t have yet the problems of the “fist world”, but we enjoy the tecnology of the XXI century. We have smarter movility, comunication and protection. But, in somehow, we still live in the 1900, with our families and friends even closer that we have they in recent past. This lucky we have, it’s nothing but TIME, time to us, time to do that we love most. It’s this time that the people of the great cities love but expend it in movilization. In that point, the smaller and “third world” cities are more advance, making the infractusture more eficient and human. Probably the problem of all is size. Probably the future cities will be smaller settlements that have it all in a more efficient space: vertical farms, internet services, virtual malls, etc.

Pros:

It really how UBER is doing this, in parnetship, with commitment and, for over all, in concordante with their company‘s Mision/Vision

Cons:

UBER can make this even more participative when they incluide cities and citizen of other countries. We also have something to say

I so much hope I'll have that flying machine before I die!

Pros:

1/ no more traffic jams

2/ flying is super cool

Cons:

1/ one can't just stop and go out

2/ there will deaths before it becomes really safe

The "boring" idea is better.

Pros:

Nothing for people transportation in cities. Possibly useful for emergency medical help and remote countryside.

Cons:

Just imagine dozens and hundreds of huge drones hovering over your head hiding the sky. It's worse than a nightmare.
