Whether you like it or not, autonomous flying taxi will become mainstream withing the next decade. In this video we cover the latest flying air taxi and Boring company news, hyperloop construction update, as well as debunk some popular misconceptions about flying air taxi and hyperloop.
As for the Boring company tunnel update, the digging work for the first tunnel of the Las Vegas Boring tunnel has been completed. Hence the Las Vegas Boring tunnel system is right on track to open for CES 2021. Later on the Las Vegas Convention Center Loop will be gradually expanded to the Vegas Loop, which will connect the convention center to the strip and the airport.
As for flying car 2020 update, a trial run of the Wisk flying air taxi (partnership between Kitty Hawk and Boeing) has been approved in Canterbury, New Zealand. The autonomous flying passenger drone Cora from Wisk would be called via App, similar to a ride-sharing service, and fly you fully autonomously to your destination.
We debunk three common myths about autonomous flying taxi: they are loud, inefficient and unsafe.
As for hyperloop news 2020, the state of Missouri has approved the construction work begin for the hyperloop track connecting Kansas City and St. Louis.
Other important hyperloop progress includes a feasibility study for the great lakes hyperloop system, the Dubai Abu Dhabi Hyperloop, the Mumbai Pune Hyperloop, as well as the emergence of many new hyperloop startups.
We compare the hyperloop progress to the market growth of automobile 100 years ago, in order to bust the myth that hyperloop isn't real and would never be really built.
We debunk three common myths about hyperloop: it's unsafe due to extremely high speeds, it's impossible to maintain vacuum in hyperloop tubes, and hyperloop trains require a huge amount of energy which can not be provided.
