Holy Flying Burgers 🍔- @dkhos says @UberEats will be delivered via air someday soon. #UberElevate

“Uber isn’t just about cars. It’s a solution for mobility and to help cities and transit. City infrastructure can’t keep up. We want to help them. It is about cars, mobility, transportation. We have to solve long term problems and to keep pushing the limits.” @dkhos #UberElevate

@pipistrelEU Director of R&D is the perfect entertainment level on a serious topic of eVTOL design. “Blades? We don’t have blades. We have things that spin and are prepared to continue should we lose one of them.” #UberElevate

“Not all cells are created equal” Celina Mikolajczak, Battery Systems Engineering @Uber #UberElevate

Tremendous level of thought put into vehicle and system optimization for urban air travel. Nice work @Uber #UberElevate

@seletajewel brings her A-game as usual. “The FAA may let you fly, but it is the cities that will allow you to land.” #UberElevate @FlyingMzStacey

Tom Prevot, @uber resident air traffic control, unveils Dynamic Skylane Networks as a way of envisioning the infrastructure required to manage increased air traffic of a robust eVTOL network in action. #UberElevate

Tom Prevot, Director of Engineering, Airspace Systems for @Uber explains what is being taken into account to make air traffic operations safe and scalable. #UberElevate

Did we know that @amazon is delivering via drone in Israel? I think that is what he just said here at #UberElevate

Wow. Dan Elwell, acting head of @FAANews is saying he wants an INTEGRATED airspace. Not one that is “eVTOL only”. That’s more aggressive than what @uber Chief Product Officer Jeff Holden had suggested. Go Dan Go! #UberElevate

Dan Elwell, Acting Administrator of @FAANews is severely rational and looking to collaborate with industry to create the guidelines for safety and efficiency in eVTOL travel. #UberElevate

Like all of the content here today, this panel was quite powerful. @uber @ChargePointnet @edisonintl @LADWP blac&kveatch. How do we charge these eVTOLs to have a robust, reliable system? Infrastructure... #UberElevate

The Battery Maven, Celina Mikolajczak, Director of Engineering, Battery Systems @Uber takes the stage to explain the reason why all-electric is the way to go here at #UberElevate (.@drivingmzstacey is thrilled because Celina hails from @Tesla — home of battery central)

Kirk Hawkins, CEO of @ICONAircraft talking about personalizing flight and the challenge of manufacturing lightweight aircraft at scale. Cracking automated manufacturing is key. #UberElevate @drivingmzstacey

And they are developing a whole family of vehicles based open this design.

Tine Tomazic, director of R&D, @pipistrelEU showing off their eVTOL chops: * only eVTOL assembly line in operation * new design release - optimized for speed Pipistrel Vertical Solutions .@drivingmzstacey

John Langford, CEO of @AuroraFlightSci of @BoeingAirplanes is laying it all out there. Autonomy is completely changing the game in flight. Number of pilots = down Number of drone operators = exponential growth #UberElevate @drivingmzstacey

Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva CEO @embraer is on stage at #UberElevate They’ve delivered more than 8000 aircraft. Looking forward to their eVTOL craft increasing that number significantly. @drivingmzstacey

2009 Electric aircraft = science fiction 2011 it flies! 2017 eVTOLs demonstrated in Dubai 2018 eVTOLs are being developed by a multitude of companies 2020 Uber Air | Elevate will have commercial demonstrations 2023 Uber Air is commercially available #UberElevate @drivingmzstacey

@stewart_jack Completely. Point taken. I don’t know how Angelenos do this!!

Pretty sure the organizers of the #uberelevate summit put it somewhere totally inaccessible in LA traffic to make a point. 1.5 hours to do 12 miles. Bring on the flying cars.
