Imagine skipping morning traffic by flying over the city in an automated drone. This technology, known as Urban Air Mobility (UAM), is no longer just science fiction. Drone taxis, or "eVTOL" (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, are being developed to transport passengers quickly and quietly. They are eco-friendly because they run on electricity and could drastically reduce travel time in crowded cities. However, before they become common, we must solve challenges regarding air traffic safety regulations and the noise levels of these flying vehicles.
