In the past week, we technology fans have been treated to three big developments in the world of flying cars. Uber gave us an update on Elevate, its plan to have fleets of semi-autonomous flying people carriers by 2020; the German company Lilium showed off its design for a passenger vehicle capable of vertical take-off and landing; and the Larry Page-funded startup Kitty Hawk showed off its riding-mower drone of a personal flyer. Super weird week! Alex Davies, the editor of WIRED’s transportation section, joins Mike this week to talk through the news.

Some links: Uber Elevate news from this week. The original whitepaper release in October, 2016. Lilium’s Jet, which is not a jet. The New York Times went deep on the Kitty Hawk vehicle. Recommendations this week: the Myths and Legends podcast and Zinn and the Art of Road Bike Maintenance.
