Being able to transport long distances without bumps with queues, long car journeys and expensive gasoline prices, is something one really long for, this news can put some light on that future actually.
Companies wanting to invent next-generation modes of transport are approaching more and more their goals, as companies like Volocopter, Lilium and Uber are currently implementing, as they have successfully completed their trials of drone taxies.
With an entire electrical solution, speeds up to 300km/h and range between 300-500 km, they reach the destination almost 4-7 times faster than a conventional traditional car.
Companies hope to have their solutions already in use by 2020, with personal passengers. The drones working in different ways, Lilium and Uber will be summoned through their app as an on-demand order, while Volocopter places their stations on real estate ceilings in big cities for the user to get to the location itself to take flight.
The drones will be 2-seated with the possibility of approximately 150kg extra load.
