NASA and Uber partnered in 2017. Uber wants NASA to help create industry regulations and standards (air traffic management, safety and training protocols, etc.). Also one of the higher ups on the Uber Elevate project is an ex-NASA employee. Apparently while he was at NASA people thought his idea of flying cars was crazy. Jokes on them now.....

Uber is planning to demo their flying car around 2020, but it will probably be late 2020's/ early 2030's before we see a full service.

Think the Jetsons, but with drone/ plane hybrids. Unfortunately we haven't cracked time travel...that's for next year's interns for solve :)

Scott how did it feel to be slightly taller than your brother for a few days?

Did you try to play one-on-one with him after getting back from space?

Those are the exact questions that NASA is working to figure out. The simulations that we developed will be used to eventually answer those questions.
