Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

Flying Taxis Are Coming (with Volocopter’s Florian Reuter)

Listen Later

Volocopter’s CEO Florian Reuter joins Azeem Azhar to explore how this radical new transport could transform our cities. They also break down the steps required to fulfill Volocopter’s vision of creating a door-to-door taxi service to rival Uber, via autonomous electric helicopter.

In addition, they discuss:

  • Why Volocopter expects to have their service running in Paris in two years.
  • How data have led them to conclude that the optimum taxi capacity is two people.
  • Why they’re opting to build and operate both their vehicles and the necessary infrastructure.
