美国打车软件巨头优步（Uber）与韩国现代汽车公司周一宣布，计划合作开发电动空中出租车，从而加入为缓解城市拥堵而展开的飞行汽车开发竞赛。现代在拉斯维加斯的消费电子展（CES）上发布了一架与优步合作开发的概念电动飞机，其设计的飞行里程可达60英里（100公里），巡航速度可达180英里/小时（290公里/小时）。优步此前已承诺，将于2020年开始空中出租车的测试飞行，并于2023年投入商业运营。
波音子公司Aurora Flight Sciences是其在该项目上的合作伙伴之一。现代汽车则是第一个与优步在该项目上合作的汽车制造商。两公司在一份联合声明中表示：“现代将生产和部署空中交通工具，优步将通过空中交通共享网络提供空域支持服务、地面交通连接和客户接口。”
