Short Wave · Sky Uber? Air taxis could be here soon · 6 Jul 2026 podcast

And M, we might be on the cusp of air taxis making a comeback.

In Florida, a law just went into effect to build infrastructures for them in places like airports.

Get out of here.

Are you serious?

What do you mean?

Like, you're saying that I...

could order an air taxi to my house to take me to a major airport?

So that's the idea.

I met Lee Witcher, an engineer at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, and I met him outside of an airplane hangar where they're trying to make flying taxis a reality.

And the prototype he showed me is for a pilotless flying taxi.

A flying taxi that flies on its own?

Yes.

This is a project called Raven, and it's a joint project with Georgia Tech and NASA.

If you're going to be replacing some cars and maybe people going through the subway, you need to operate in densely populated areas where you just can't build giant runways.

And that means you need to take off vertically.

But helicopters are loud and expensive and they require a lot of power to keep them moving around.

So that's why we needed something new.

And now a few companies say they're close to finally figuring out the science to overcome most of those barriers.

Today on Tech Camp, flying taxis.

How a new generation of air taxis could revolutionize transportation.
