A firm funded by Google co-founder Larry Page has revealed an electric, self-flying air taxi that can head out at up to 180 km/h (110mph).

It can complete 100 km on a solitary charge, and it takes off and lands vertically.

It will in the long run be accessible to customers as a service “similar to an airline or a ride-share ” said parent firm Kitty Hawk on the Cora site.

It works utilizing “self-flying software combined with human oversight”, it included.

The aircraft has been produced in New Zealand, where the legislature said it welcomed the projected due to its ecological accreditations.

“We’ve got ambitious goals here in New Zealand, we want to get to net zero emissions by 2050 and that includes mobility,” said Dr. Megan Woods, minister for research, science and innovation, in a promotional video for the aircraft.

The firm said it is presently working ” constructively ” with aviation regulatory authorities but declined to put a date on when Cora may begin work.
