Two flying taxi companies just ran real test flights.

Joby tested its aircraft in Texas while Archer flew a route in California.

Both are now racing toward FAA approval to carry passengers.

Uber Launches New Flying Taxis in Dubai for Under £20, Cheaper Than London Black Cabs

Uber has announced the launch of its new flying taxi service in Dubai, offering a revolutionary transportation option for residents and tourists alike. The service, which is set to begin operations in the coming months, will allow passengers to travel across Dubai's skyline in autonomous aerial vehicles. The cost of a typical ride is expected to be under £20, which is significantly cheaper than a standard black cab ride in London. This development marks a significant step forward in urban air mobility, with Dubai positioning itself as a leader in innovative transportation solutions. The flying taxis, developed in partnership with aviation companies, are designed to reduce traffic congestion and provide a faster, more efficient way to navigate the city. Each vehicle can carry up to four passengers and is equipped with advanced safety features. The service is part of Dubai's broader vision to become a hub for smart city technologies and sustainable urban development. While the exact launch date has not been confirmed, the company has stated that the service will be available for public use within the next year. This move is expected to attract significant interest from both tourists and locals, potentially transforming how people move around the city. The announcement has been met with enthusiasm by transportation experts who see it as a potential model for other major cities worldwide. However, there are still regulatory hurdles to overcome before the service can operate fully, including safety certifications and airspace management. Despite these challenges, Uber's entry into the flying taxi market represents a bold step toward the future of urban transportation.

🚁 Quiet test flights just brought flying taxis from concept to reality. With routes like Newark to Manhattan on the horizon, eVTOLs could upend how cities move long before most people see them coming.

Look, I hate to keep on and on about this, but we were assured #FlyingTaxis would definitely be in use in #London by 2025; now we're halfway through 2026 and they're *still* not here?
I mean what is it with these tech goons?
Were they lying all along?
