Soon, you might not have to worry about your Uber driver fighting through Midtown traffic.
Uber is hoping to develop flying cars to ferry passengers around, and the company has hired a NASA engineer to help it make that dream a reality, according to a report it released.
The ridesharing app company hired Mark Moore, who is a chief technologist at the Langley Research Center in Virginia and specializes in conceptual designs for advanced aeronautic aircraft.
Uber thinks it can have Vertical Takeoff and Landing—vehicles that travel up to 200 mph while hovering about 250 feet off the ground—up and running in some markets within three years, according to the report.
