Uber has officially sold its autonomous car division to startup Aurora. Now, the private transport platform has reached an agreement for Joby Aviation to acquire Uber Elevate, its fleet of flying taxis.
After years of trying to get their air taxi business off the ground, Uber finally chose to leave the project to focus on what has worked for them: passenger transport and food delivery. As Joby Aviation announced, the agreement implies an investment of 75 million dollars by Uber in the company, in addition to the 50 million it invested last January. In addition, the air transport company will be able to use the Uber app for customers to hire their flying taxis.
