An aerial taxi is a type of air transportation designed to carry passengers over short distances, typically within urban areas. These vehicles, often referred to as drones or eVTOLs (electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft), aim to reduce traffic congestion and provide faster travel options. They are usually piloted remotely or autonomously, making them a modern alternative to traditional ground taxis. Aerial taxis are being developed by various companies, including Uber and Volocopter, and are expected to operate in designated air corridors. They are equipped with advanced navigation systems and safety features to ensure secure flights. As technology advances, aerial taxis may become a common mode of transport in cities worldwide.
