and everybody was saying Uber didnt stand a chance in Japan, seems a bit different now Toyotas got their back. flying taxi are coming , no they wont be landing on your doorstep anytime soon, theyll probably have special hubs on top of builings where the can take off and land in a controlled environment, trips will likely be within a couple hundred km. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuWOUEFB_IQ
