Workhorse and Volocopter show off flying taxis

Volocopter and Workhorse showed off their incredible'super drones' at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, each touting the ability to fly piloted or autonomously and slash commuting times in busy urban areas. The two were among the most highly-anticipated exhibitors at CES this year, as the firms have both revealed their visions for Uber-style flying taxi services with the vertical takeoff and landing craft in the foreseeable future. Volocopter stunned attendees during Intel's keynote by flying the drone right onto the stage, in what a spokesperson admitted was a'ballsy' move – but, while Workhorse was slated to demonstrate its SureFly craft this week, the flight had to be cancelled due to the rain. In many ways, the two craft appear similar. But, an up-close look reveals key differences that truly set them apart.
