Uber has traditionally been associated with its ride-hailing services, but the company wants its cars to head skyward next. Uber highlighted its plans to develop and test cars that are capable of vertically taking off and landing -- commonly referred to as VTOLs -- by 2020 at a press conference Tuesday. The ridesharing company has partnered with city officials in Dubai and Dallas for its initiative, Reuters reported. In the short-term, Uber hopes to have VTOLs that could run electrically and be quiet enough to use within cities. With flying cars, the hope for Uber is that they could both cut down on the time and cost needed to transport users from one place to another.
