Look to the skies for electric taxi rides

If you're wondering how the flying taxi market is evolving, it's just fine, says US company Joby Aviation. The California-based outfit works closely with the US military and has strong commercial / technology investors in the form of ride / delivery platform Uber and Japanese multinational automaker Toyota. Here, it presents its air taxi in a demo flight in Dubai, to the soundtrack 'Endless Desert', saying: "The future of cleaner, quieter urban travel just landed in Dubai. Today marks a significant milestone on our path to commercialization: we successfully completed a series of piloted, full-transition, electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing flights in Dubai". Company stock rose several percentage points. Are you excited?
