It was 61 years ago that the Jetsons first introduced audiences to the concept of flying cars. Well now, that science fiction may soon be a reality.
A flight from SFO to Napa, even in the worst traffic, would be 25 minutes in an airtaxi, much shorter than the two hours it takes on the ground. "They're a hundred times quieter than helicopters. They're far more affordable than helicopters. They're fully redundant which means they're far more safer than helicopters," said Archer Aviation executive Nikhil Goel.
"You do so much simulator, as soon as you get into the flight and automatically, it's just like, you are home. You know everything," said Quantum 3D CEO Murat Kose.
