It seems as if taking cab on the ground is becoming way too mainstream for Dubai, as RTA announced yesterday that the country is now ready for flying taxis. 

Yes, you will probably no longer need to wait in crazy traffic during rush hours as a flying cab might pick you up and fly you to your destination as easy as it can be. 

The announcement was made at the Transport Congress and Exhibition, in which Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), said that it’s time to update public transportation with the latest technologies available.

Flying taxis were tested last year

Dubai had already tested out this crazy but genius idea back in September2017 and it marked the world’s first self-flying service.
