Uber introduces new air taxi (what could possibly go wrong?)

Uber introduces new air taxi (what could possibly go wrong?)

This looks like fun!

"Coming to the Uber app this year," you say?

Well, coming to Dubai, that is.

(Sorry, America.)

Here's what to expect from Uber:

  • Joby flight experience: Joby's all-electric air taxi is being designed for up to four passengers, with comfortable seating, featuring large windows with panoramic views of the city below from every seat. Flown by a certified commercial pilot, it offers a remarkable way to travel above the city and experience the next generation of flight.

  • Aircraft details: Joby's aircraft uses six tilting propellers to take off vertically before transitioning into forward flight. It can travel at speeds of up to 200 mph, and has a range of up to 100 miles on a single charge.

  • Designed for cities: It is engineered with multiple levels of redundancies to enhance safety and designed for urban integration, featuring an acoustic profile that is quiet enough to blend into the ambient sounds of a city's streets.

NYC Criminal Arrested For Throwing Snowballs At Police

Mamdani called this a snowball fight:

Well, this is the first snowball fight I've ever seen someone get arrested for.

Same dude was arrested a few weeks ago for robbery.

You just can't make it up!

From ABC 7 New York:

[Police Benevolent Association] President Patrick Hendry said in a statement: 'A 27-year-old with a recent attempted robbery arrest is not a "kid." This arrest sends a clear message that assaults on police officers cannot and will not be minimized or tolerated. We thank all of the NYPD members who have worked so hard on this case, and all of the New Yorkers who have spoken up in support of our police officers. There is more work to be done to hold accountable all who participated in this shameful attack.'
