现代大城市地面交通日益拥堵。想象一下，当你被堵在茫茫的车海中动弹不得的时候，有架垂直起降飞机将你接走，你会有多得意？这就是美国Uber公司承诺将在2023年启动的空中出租车服务。这一服务看似科幻，近期不太可能实现，但是，据美国知名科技网站The Verge今日报道，Uber公司的这个梦想如今得到了一家神秘的初创飞机公司的支持，看起来已经离现实不太远了。Uber公司说它已经与Joby公司签订了多年的商务合同，来启动一种快速的，可靠的，清洁的并且承受得起的城市空中出租车服务。不过两家公司都没有公布协议的条款，以及是否有资金的往来。关于电动垂直起飞和着陆的空中出租车系统是否会对下一代交通系统做出明显贡献，或者它是否只是超级富豪躲避道路拥堵的逃生舱，目前尚无定论。

    The ground traffic in modern big cities is increasingly congested. Imagine how proud you would be if a VTOL picked you up when you were stuck in a sea of cars? This is the air taxi service that Uber promised to launch in 2023. This service looks like science fiction, which is unlikely to be realized in the near future. However, according to the verge, a well-known technology website in the United States, Uber's dream is now supported by a mysterious start-up aircraft company, which seems not far from reality. Uber said it has signed a multi-year business contract with Joby to start a fast, reliable, clean and affordable City air taxi service. Neither company, however, disclosed the terms of the agreement and whether there was a flow of funds. Whether the electric vertical take-off and landing air taxi system will make a significant contribution to the next generation of transportation system, or whether it is only the escape capsule for the super rich to avoid road congestion, has not been determined. （文编译/飞行汽车  www.qches.com）
