Flying Cars for Urban Air Mobility Source: Embraer DreamMaker eVTOL Future of Aerial Ride Sharing Despite the global pandemic, Brazil based aircraft manufacturer Embraer and Uber Elevate are moving forward with speed to deploy fleets of "urban air mobility" vehicles in the skies near you. By 2023, they say they will offer travelers the option of an affordable shared flight. They hope to get vehicle testing underway by the end of this year. Uber, the ride sharing service and Embraer, the aircraft maker are partnering in the effort. eVTOLs The flying cars that will serve as flying, shared ride taxis, are eVTOLs - electric, vertical takeoff and landing vehicles.
