‘Flying car’ under joint development by Hyundai and Uber

The S-A1 is a flying vehicle concept model jointly developed by Hyundai Motor Group and Uber. The S-A1 will be used by Uber Air, an air-sharing service that Uber plans to start service in 2023, and was introduced as a concept model during CES 2020, which was just opened.

Hyundai Motor Company and Uber announced that they are working on cooperation in the field of autonomous driving and will also work on shared services in the aviation sector. The two companies set up a professional development team of Hyundai in the fall of last year, and began to make efforts to develop the aircraft jointly with the Uber aviation division. The presentation of this concept model can be said to be the first achievement of cooperation between the two companies in the aviation sector.

The S-A1 has a maximum cruising speed of 290 km/h and can carry up to 4 people. You can also go up to 100km away. Initially, pilots support driving, but in the future, it will be possible to navigate autonomously. Depending on what safety measures are in place, aircraft may need a variety of countermeasures as the risk is quite high in the event of an accident.

Meanwhile, Uber announced in early January that Las Vegas transportation tickets will be available for purchase through its app. Uber has been considering providing a batch service from route search to ticket purchase through its app. In May 2019, the service was first launched in Denver, Colorado. Las Vegas became the second service area after Denver.
