As suspected, and following a similar deal yesterday to offload its self-driving taxi technology to autonomous vehicle startup Aurora, Uber announced Tuesday that it has sold its flying taxi service, Uber Elevate to California-based Joby Aviation. Joby already makes electric VTOL aircraft so it is acquiring Uber's aerial ride-hailing division. Doing so will allow the startup access to Uber's app infrastructure -- and vice versa, essentially integrating their respective ground and air apps -- once Joby's aircraft are FAA certified. That is expected to happen within the next few years and could be completed as soon as 2023. "We were proud to partner with Uber Elevate last year and we're even prouder to be welcoming them into the Joby team today," Joby Aviation founder and CEO JoeBen Bevirt said in a Tuesday release.
