Flying cars are coming, so says Uber. The troubled ride-hailing giant has been pushing the wild goal of testing an electric air-taxi program in at least two American cities in 2020, with regular service starting in 2023. Yet only now are we getting our first glimpse of what the vertical-takeoff-and-landing planes might look like.
Earlier today, Uber debuted its combo helicopter-airplane reference design for contractors building the craft. Now Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer is the first to show its concept for a final craft. (Uber is opening its network to multiple providers, with five currently signed on.)

Like all concept cars, the design that Embraer debuted today may look different once it hits the air. But with just a few years to get going, Embraer probably won’t have time to change much.
