Google Founder Larry Page Funding Flying Car Companies Zee.Aero And Kitty Hawk
Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, has personally funneled over 100 million into a pair of secretive startups looking to revolutionize personal transport by developing flying cars, according to a new report from Bloomberg Businessweek. The report claims Page is backing the secretive Zee.Aero, a company that was initially set up six years ago and three years later, moved across the road from Google's huge headquarters in Mountain View. At the time, the company was reported to be working on a flying car -- based on a patent filing -- but little was known about Zee.Aero and who was backing it. The original patent filed by Zee.Aero for a flying car design. The report, based on information from 10 people familiar with the company's plans, including former employees, says Page initially lived in an apartment above the company's offices, but as it expanded, he had to move out.
