Airbus Completes First Test Of Autonomous Flying Taxi Vahana

Airbus announced this week it successfully tested its flying taxi Vahana on Jan. 31 in Oregon. The test is a bit behind schedule. Airbus promised last January to test a prototype for an autonomous flying car by the end of 2017. The test comes less than two years after Airbus announced its autonomous flying car plans in September 2016 by introducing Project Vahana. The goal of the company's A³ division is to allow people to book rides using an app, like Uber or Lyft, but for flying cars instead.
