Hyundai hires a NASA engineer to run its new 'flying car' division
Today, Hyundai threw its hat into the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) ring. The company announced that it's working to develop its own flying vehicles. Hyundai appointed Dr. Jaiwon Shin as head of its new UAM division. Most recently, Shin led NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate. At Hyundai, Shin and his team will be tasked with developing the core technologies behind the company's flying vehicles. (www.engadget.com) さらに...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It will take 1,000 noise complaints, 500 delays, 5 near-misses, and just 1 collision / hacking / system failure to bring this so called utopia back to reality.
Anyone else thinking Doc Brown's Delorean?
Do you mean that we are moving Back to the Future?
I'm thinking of the post-WWII advertisments that all suburbanites would be owning helicopters to commute to work.
Making engine noises in your flying car in the front yard is a lot different than being at 6,500ft in moderate turbulence with a crosswind waiting at the airport. The big drone with AI will most likely be the solution for short Jetson flights around cities.
vroom vroom!!
is it possible for brilliant engineering to overcome not smart operators of whatever this silliness is called: flying car, personal air vehicle- if you wanna fly, get a physical, find a flight instructor, and fly a cessna or piper training aircraft. This is great in the jetsons or other comic book creations, and pretty good in Back to the Future, and bruce willis flew a ugly yellow cab in some other forgetable movie, but real life, with the degree of stupid prevelant: not a good idea
