Silicon Valley investors are optimistic about flying cars: Subversion of traffic patterns in Asia

【World Wide Web Reporter Zhang Zhiying】May 11 news, famous entrepreneurial incubator Starburst Accelerator founder and CEO Francois Chopard published an article in the foreign technology blog TechCrunch, said that the next valuation reached 1 billion The dollar's start-up company will come from the aerospace field, and the true subversion of this traffic model will happen in Asia and South America.

Uber's first Elevate Summit summit attracted around 500 people from all over the world to gather in Dallas at the end of April. After participating in the three-day event, François took his 20 years of experience in the aerospace field to judge: Urban air traffic is no longer a vision of future technology, it is happening.

Thanks to the astonishing innovations, new ride modes, power and automation technologies that subvert the current urban transport market, urban air traffic is expected to grow dramatically in the next five years.

At the Elevate Congress, Francois was asked more than once on "city air traffic, where will it take off first?". He said that Uber's two starting cities will be Dallas and Dubai, and related cooperation, infrastructure plans, standard flight routes and regulatory issues are all under negotiation. It is worth mentioning that he judged that the real subversion of the transport model will occur in densely populated and emerging megacities in South America and Asia.

In terms of market and funding, François stated that the first commercially available transportation category will have a clear business case and a real market. “We no longer feel that this type of transportation is limited to a small number of people. It is just a casual market segment, but we feel that they will knock on a market where the number of tools and passengers is much greater. We usher in In a larger, more commercially viable market, more and more investors, from angel investors to venture capitalists to strategic investors, will enter the game. Companies like OneWeb and Planet have already obtained investments." He said.

At the conference, Uber envisioned the deployment of urban flight tools of different sizes. The first model to emerge is a flying taxi that provides ride-sharing service. In this mode, the aircraft will fly an average of 24 miles per trip, and four passengers including the pilot (at least initially) will be able to reach 150 mph and will only need 5 minutes to recharge.

With this type of transportation, people will be able to save a lot of commuting time, and a 1.5-hour drive to and from work every day will suddenly become a 10-minute flight, and the cost is almost equivalent to the UberPOOL multiplayer service. It is estimated that the number of deployments in each city is between 500 and 1000 units to take on the daily schedule.

In fact, Uber does not really want to build a flying car, but rather wants to use these vehicles to expand its service range and may better solve the problem of increasing traffic congestion in the city. It is hoped to bring together experts related to this technology and the technical foundation needed to achieve this goal. Uber said it hopes to help encourage the use of affordable, practical, electric VTOL transportation services for use in dense urban environments.

Francois said: “The excitement of the conference is easy to feel because we all feel that we are involved in some sort of thing that will change the way the world commutes and even changes our way of life. With unmanned electric Cars will bring a higher level of safety, efficiency and productivity. In this era of new urban air traffic, our time spent on transportation will be greatly reduced, and the vehicles we use will be able to be used by most people. The space shuttle emissions will also be greatly reduced."

As a person trapped between the next generation of Elon Musk and the previous generation of traditional big companies, Francois marveled at seeing all of these technologies. He said that companies need these technologies to bring what many people call flying cars to the market, and they also need these technologies to implement a new daily traffic model.

Early unicorns such as SpaceX, OneWeb, and Planet completely changed the industry landscape, bringing various innovative technologies to the spacecraft, Earth observation, space communications, and space exploration. At the same time, the next-generation companies such as Boom, Aurora and Wright Electric have quickly reached a series of milestones in the commercial use of supersonic jets and regional hybrid aircraft.
