Australia probably needs drone taxis a lot less than much more urbanized areas with traffic.

But it’s exciting that anyone is doing it. Drone taxis are going to be awesome. Especially when they start crashing and causing mass chaos.

The Guardian:

Australia is building an air traffic control system for drones as authorities prepare for a surge in uncrewed aircraft flights and flying taxis over the next decade.

Airservices Australia – the federal government agency responsible for managing airspace across the country – has appointed air traffic management company Frequentis Australasia to develop a “digital air traffic management to safely integrate millions of uncrewed aircraft flights into Australia’s busy airspace”.

Analysis commissioned by Airservices Australia predicts that drone flights in the country will surge to 60m by 2043 including delivery drones, air taxis and other pilotless operations. At present, there are about 1.5m drone flights a year.

“The way we do air traffic control today won’t work for the number of drones we expect to see in our skies,” Airservices Australia’s Luke Gumley said on Monday.

“There will be many aircraft in urban environments with high populations … drone delivery will operate in populous areas.

Gumley, the head of transformation uncrewed services, said the future drone management system would incorporate a significant amount of automation. Current air traffic control systems relied on verbal communication between controllers and pilots.

Authorities were expecting unmanned aircraft to be highly automated, possibly with one pilot on the ground controlling multiple aircraft at once, he said.

“Humans will still be in the loop, but perhaps more on the loop than within the loop.”

Ultimately, the drone management system would have to integrate with the broader control of air traffic in Australia, to ensure drones didn’t interfere with commercial flights and to stop them from crashing into each other, Gumley said.

I think China will implement these flying taxis before anyone else.

I’ll tell you, Shanghai needs them more than anyone else. Other than Manila. But Manila will never get them, because Manila will never develop, because the Philippines is a repressed American colony totally blocked out of Chinese development money.

YES. YES. YES.

I haven’t been excited by a tech innovation in years. Decades probably. Right about the time that Sharper Image started focusing on massage chairs and smartphone accessories.

That’s when everything started going to shit. That’s when NiggerTech became the standard everywhere. We only cared about how many gigabytes of porn you could download on your phone.

But not anymore.

BBC:

A flying car that will not require a pilot’s licence to operate has been unveiled in California.

BlackFly can travel for up to 25 miles (40km) at a speed of 62mph.

Its makers say it will eventually cost the same as a typical sports-utility car, but early models will be more expensive.

It was revealed on Thursday the company is funded by Google co-founder Larry Page.

Mr Page is also behind Kitty Hawk, a separate US start-up currently testing its personal aircraft in Las Vegas.

The thing is, if we’re going to be spiraling out of control into a cyberpunk dystopia, I want some of the high-tech associated with that dystopia as well.

Cyberpunk is characterized by high-tech, low-life. 

But we’ve been getting nigger-tech AND low-life. 

That’s literally the worst combination.

Several other rival flying cars are in development across the globe.

BlackFly’s creator is the Palo Alto-based firm Opener. The car has been tested in Canada, where the country’s aviation authority has authorised its use.

Like Kitty Hawk, BlackFly could perhaps be more accurately described as a human-carrying drone. It is not designed to be driven on roads.

The vehicle carries one person in a small cockpit, powered by “eight propulsion systems, spread across two wings”.

So we’ve got the multi-culti Los Angeles. We’ve got the incel apocalypse. All we really need are flying cars…and Replicants to make the Blade Runner universe come to life.

Opener’s chief executive Marcus Leng said the on-board controls offered “instant gratification”.

“You have total command of three-dimensional space,” he told CBS News correspondent John Blackstone.

“When you press the thumb-stick to climb, you have absolute full control. When you stop in the middle of the air and go off the joystick, the aircraft freezes.

“And when I say freezes… it literally freezes in the air.”

BlackFly can also fly autonomously, Mr Leng said.

‘Will they crash? Probably’

Opener joins a long list of companies chasing the ultimate science fiction dream of a flying car, and thanks to rapid improvements in drone capabilities, that future seems closer than ever.

Yes, God, please.

This is the only thing that will make the future hellscape bearable – being able to fly above it all.

The Jews have almost completely destroyed the entirety of civilization with mass immigration, feminism, faggotry, opioids, etc., and called it “progress.”

Increasingly, the goyim are saying aloud: “I thought progress meant like, flying cars – not infinity niggers, terrorism and tranny senators?”

And so, the Jews are rushing through a flying cars program to attempt to quell the goyim revolt against post-modern Jewry.

Uber has announced a partnership with NASA in their efforts to take the ride-sharing company to the skies.

Uber’s futuristic ambitions were announced by the company’s chief product officer at the Web Summit in Lisbon Wednesday, as it seeks to roll out flying cars in cities across the world with testing due to begin as early as 2020. Three cities, Dallas, LA and Dubai have been selected to trial its flying cars, with NASA drafted in to help figure out how the cars will interact with other aircraft such as planes, helicopters and drones.

The Space Act Agreement, signed with NASA, will seek to create a new air-traffic control system to manage the aircraft. The company first announced its Uber Elevate plan in a white paper last October, but it seems Uber is ready to take-off very soon.

Oh, but the other thing – this is being implemented for the use of Pakis and niggers, as this promotional video shows.

I guess whites are maybe going to be allowed to use them also, but they might have to wait at the back of the line because of their white privilege.

Here’s Uber’s “Flying Car Summit.”

Of course, this technology has been around forever – all it is is a bigger version of the remote control drones that are now available at any toy store, hobby shop or Walmart. Corporations just never did anything because there was no financial incentive, and the government – which used to do public-private partnerships to get things like this developed – was busy with other things.

Now, I guess it is cheap enough that they can roll it out with a profit by cooperating with Uber. I have no idea if this has something to do with Donald Trump. I would assume it probably does. Public-private technology development projects are something that happened when America was great.

I’m not trying to downplay this flying car project. I’m excited about it, on some level. It’s just too little too late and the commercial with no white people (above) is infuriating.

And at this point, adding this kind of technology only serves to give a false impression about the direction our society is going in. As the brown sludge rises, everything is going to go downhill in every conceivable way. Upgrading old technology by re-purposing it doesn’t really represent progress. It is just the last few white people in the tech sector doing something mildly interesting before they eventually get forced out and progress stops completely.

It’s still a relatively long way off – 5-10 years – but it will give the bugmen something to look forward to.
