‘Flying cars across US skies within 10 years’

Bloomberg

Flying cars will be zipping across US skies within the coming decade—at least that’s what Uber Technologies’ CEO Dara Khosrowshahi predicts.
“There will be people flying around Dallas, Texas,” Khosrowshahi said at the DLD tech conference in Munich.
“I think it’s going to happen within the next ten years.”
Back down on the ground, the Uber CEO cited congested cities as one of the issues his company can help solve, for example by increasing the number of electric vehicles. Fully autonomous taxis are still 10 to 15 years away, however, because of the effort needed to create 3D maps and since sensors are still too expensive, he said.
Uber plans to expand to more cities in Germany this year, but will do so more carefully and in dialog with governments, companies and the local taxi industry after it entered the market too aggressively, he said.
