I knew the Jetsons would come to fruition lol
Not really
except they dont use propellers. Its all antigravity propulsion.
Google Jetson One they are made in Sweden and amazing.
I'll stay with my suv
😂
Fly over my house at less than 500 feet and my surface to air defense system activates. oops
A flying taxi with a bad battery
Arial Uber. No thanks.
Lol
The FAA doesn’t now allow small airplanes to fly around under 1000 feet.
Fly over my house, I wave.
Wow!!! The future is amazing. I wonder how many more people will be living on the sidewalks in 20 years in the wealthiest country on the planet???
The tilt-rotor design is the best, like the Jobi. Using a wing for lift during level flight is far more efficient.
Keep On Trucking 🎉
Hey since this report one selfdriving truck is already out of business for a crash and resulting investigation that revealed they were enacting technical and economic espionage for China. It's on wikipedia with sources: TuSimple is under Commerce Dept investigation and charges as of Feb2024.
15min battery range at 24mph , you’ll only be able to travel 6miles.
Whoa, nobody asked for facts. Stop confusing them. LOL
That's what he said, wasn't it about the battery life
There are more efficient designs. Like the Jobi.
And maybe 6ft under
But it's green, man. No jet fuel required. You don't need fuel to charge batteries. I'm pretty sure of that.
Nope. Keeping my travel options on the ground. As gravity intended. 😂
Your last reportage was MIND BOGGLING!!..l'm old enough to remember the " 6 million dollar man" And have now lived long enough to have seen it's reality, plus so much more..Incredible and Chapeau to all these creative minds making all this happen 👍
They said 8 billion!!
There are people dying from starvation and human rights being denied…
All about the money for real!!
15 billion???
Sad reality
✊🏿
I had the Million Dollar Man action figure, look through his Bionic eye but Stretch Armstrong was better.
For self driving trucks, my concern is that we're not preparing for the economic impact of rendering a whole industry obsolete. There are over 2 million CDL holders in the US, and the implementation of self driving tech will put a lot of people out of work without a plan to prepare for the unemployed. A more efficient way to transport freight would be to improve America's rail network and increase rail volume. Not to mention the safety concerns of self driving tech in general.
It’s called efficiency they don’t care about what happens to their jobs unfortunately
Efficiency should be part of any business, it eliminate waste and who would be against that ?
@@BushidoCodee think of the individual states and governments that will endure extremely high unemployment that will file for bankruptcy, welfare, food stamps, unemployment, and most importantly not paying state and federal taxes. There is a lot of economic impact that will enact policy and laws to this. It’s not going to be as simple as men in suits and ties dancing as they watch the profit margins soar.

Your predictions are excellent.
Facts I'm starting to study for Life insurance career And I just got out Trucking School last summer and there I first heard about it from a class mate
The 3rd Air Taxi is the way to go. Autonomous. Make it a bus line, with a pre-determined route. Simplify. Don't let customers choose a destination. Pick popular and busy departure point, landing point. Across congested highways. In fact, you can have them fly above the roadway, to minimize time over residences/property.
Everyone keeps trying to meet last-ten-miles transportation without admitting it already exists and when properly funded it is the cleanest fastest and most efficient: Trains. Every other democracy but the US has figured this out.
So much interest on technology.... So little on being better humans to improve on our real purpose on earth
Because that comes from within
Because people can’t do both? 🤡
Why not more money on finding cures for disease instead of this stoopidity
Billionaires wasting money!💰
Well thought out ❤I could not have said it better
All of that but yet only a 15 minute battery life , I’ll pass .
Its like 15 miles in 15 mins
Do you remember the first gaming stations?
Powered flight was a fantasy until 120 years ago. Supersonic flight was a fantasy until about 75 years ago. Then space travel... commercial supersonic flight is making a comeback. The evtols are a solid technology and will be commonplace within a decade or two.
perhaps...
@@davidhollenshead4892no perhaps, it will. Regulations are releasing next year and over 10 major manufacturers have an Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) platform ready to sell commercially. Plenty of them have deals in place to start operations in cargo and medical transport. Currently, the FAA thinks human transport will be slow at first but will explode after the LA Olympics in 2028, when they see people making it to the venue in 15 minutes by evtol vs cars in an hour and a half. My employer is currently contracted by the FAA to simulate the next 25 years with the introduction of AAM in the National Airspace and I can promise you, the models won't lie 😉
not with pollution free.
battery energy density has only improved a tiny bit in the last 2 decades. these things arent even close to liquid fossil fuels lol. they get stomped. just more vanity projects for billionaires making toxic plastic toys.
@@espenbjerke665 Pollution free is a joke that will die out very soon.
technology is moving faster than many of us realize
Only the brains realize. Rejoice :)
Too fast.
Everyone is in too much of a rush and not going long term nowadays.
Those EVTOLs are SO COOL!!!
As a kid growing up in Brooklyn, I heard a sonic boom sometime in the early 1960's, it was noticeable but it wasn't shattering windows. Pretty cool actually!
This is crazy. Straight up
Lot’s of crazy things go on in America these days!
(Re: the upcoming presidential election!)
Or straight down
I’m not sure that “Boom” is the best name for an airliner.
Lol seriously.. that guy seems clueless
15 minutes of that? And imagine running out of battery mid flight if you are high in the air. Lol
I love tech dorks are more interested in bettering their lives over anyone else. You can hear it in the pitch for why they need to produce these. "We can't afford our own helicopter so we'll make something marginally more affordable for us."
Flying taxis..you mean the Fifth Element ?
No, better.
@@shutinalley ahh the good old cancel culture mentality
Getting stuck on highways daily is so uncivilized! Lol
Was gonna reply, but Corbin called...
@@750dollarman2 Especially when it's because of a 15 car pileup where half of them are 4 wheel drive trucks. It's embarrassing.
If only Boeing invested this much in quality flying
?
Ford made an electric vehicle and it failed to sell.
They spend way more
Wow….amazing indeed!
This era is incredible
Pilot training sharpens your self awareness and environment in a unique way. It's good for everyone - imo.
-The road to hell is paved with good intentions!
-Most things sounding too good to be true are!
(Pick one!)
This looks awesome! I hope I live to see these operate commercially.
How can anyone sleep at night; not knowing if one of these flying caskets will land in your bed?
Soon we'll all want to sleep in the basement 😂
But it'll be a boon for the home remodeling biz...
About 20 years ago, I was asleep and got woken up by a loud thud from a large chunk of ice falling off a jet wing and landing my backyard. It was about half the size of an oil drum. It took me a while to overcome the reality that could have hit me if I was outside. lol
The elderly politicians in the United States have no clue how to legislate this. VOTE OUT THE OLD.
😂😂😂
yep, thats definitely one of the "drawbacks" to these "entrepreneurs"......I don't think it occurs to them as long as no one is flying one over their domicile.......... : D
We might be utilizing anti-gravity technology by the time this thing is available
Every airplane engine is capable of carrying the entire aircraft, so if you have two and loose one you can still fly the aircraft. Helicopter rotors can support the aircraft and are capable of auto rotation to safety land the aircraft in case of a engine failure. This thing has 18 tiny rotors how many are required to fly, and how many are there for redundancy?
Amazing, absolutely amazing 🤩 MIT is awesome 😎
Then, they're even cooler than that.
I lived through the Oklahoma tests. As kids we went outside to watch the jets.
A neighbor said they had broken windows.
She was the only one I knew about. Who knows?
Since some of them come without doors, Boeing should take a shot at this.
Instead of the streets being congested it will be air congestion
I think it’ll be a while until air congestion will be a concern but it’ll eventually be both
Streets are 2D while the air is 3D. I get your point, but there's obviously more space in the sky, and small, slow vehicles won't need the same spacing as airplanes.
Literally makes no sense anybody who says that is uneducated I shouldn't have to explain why that's a foolishs statement
@@stewpacalypse7104no don't even explain it it's not worth the time
most likely it will be cemetery congestion as well.......crashes, hitting high voltage electric lines, winds blowing these things into telephone poles or down into houses or the street where people are ....walking......oh well, kind of a cool idea, but until someone comes up with an anti-gravity tech, these things will never be legal over urban areas......
The World with peace, unity, integrity and love,, watching from berbera somaliland rep,,
Until HAMAS gets a couple thousand!
Guess what they will be used to do.
Quiet until it's 100's flying lol
Theese craft will have in built transponders for collision avoidence I would imagine.theese could well be the future with less danger than fuel aircraft with less accidents. Imagine an airliner sized one with 200 passengers not 2.I would love a job in the industry also.well done to the design crews love the innovation Mr Green Scotland
you do realize 3/4 of the aircraft would need to be battery to have a prayer of keeping up with jets? absolutely delusional Musk fans are!
@@ct1762 You realize there are designs for frame batteries, right? You have a lot to learn about tech.
@coreym162 you have alot to learn about reality and physics. What does where the batteries are placed have to do with weight? And no, there is not nearly enough room in the "frame" to store enough battery
This was uploaded in 2022. The company has already gone defunct
Which one?
Awesome! 🎉
I wish that I can live long enough to enjoy at least one of these supersonic flights. I used to be a frequent time flying.
😂"the batteries last up to 15 minutes "
That "gas-guzzling" helicopter can go way WAY farther than the 15 minute hexacoptee.😂😂😂😂😂
Not when it was first made.
@craigb8228 This isn't a first for any of the components. Battery and electric motor technology has been in development for decades. You can't compare that to the early days of helicopter flight, which was revolutionary at the time.
The model of the aircraft is great, yet there are numerous areas in designs that it can develop, particularly the propellers, since the projections of wind comes differently, it can be under or it can be at the sides, depending on the type of spheres that the unit is into, it should be able to add some added security for short distance travel, solar can be incorporated, or mechanical itself is incorporated altogether, it can HARNESS, MANUFACTURE ENERGY with its " NEW ADDED MECHANiCAL" FEATURES.😊
These investors and CEOs remind me, of where investors/creators of the automobile were at the turn of the century. We know this technology with advance greatly in the coming decades. What we don't know, is if any of these early investors will be around when this technology comes to fruition in the future.
Now THIS is what i watch 60 minutes for
This is amazing and i love how such research and innovations are transforming the universe. Bien joue @Media Lab
This sounds like another OceanGate😮
These would be useful as an emergency lift to the hospital. Not just to skip traffic on the way to work.
until battery density and charging is improved, none of these will truly be practical. Helicopters are still better for emergencies because they also carry extra people (and supplies) who can tend to, and monitor the patient while getting to the hospital. Not to mention, the power requirements are way higher because emergencies don't always happen on the greatest of weather conditions. It needs to be able to resist and fly against a certain level of wind, all this adding a LOT of weight. In the end, it's all about carrying capacity and ease of use. Batteries take forever to charge, compared to refueling with fuel. You'd need to be able to hotswap batteries to make it practical, but then you run into a logistics problem of needing batteries from the departure area and the destination, which means all batteries would start needing to be tracked for safety, etc. Batteries would also need to be standardized etc etc. But then what about new models? Even drones from the same company update their battery design in just a few years, whereas aircraft from the 1960s can use modern fuel (Avgas). Basically, these things are a long way away from being practical to the general public. I say they should consider focusing on hydrogen powered engines/motors instead of depending on batteries.
as long as its not more than 6 miles away
@@espenbjerke665 Good call.
@@grenzviel4480 yep. batteries are too heavy for small boats let alone aircraft. and then you also have the MAJOR disadvantage of landing weight being the same weather the batteries are empty or full, time to charge, safety concern etc/ 70% of the craft would need to be battery if it wants to go more than 30 miles, making it far too heavy.
it is great but the 15 min flight time (energy density) is the problem. We have to increase/ find/ engineer more energy density in the weight and size available to power delivery.
It's new, give it time. Batteries are improving to meet the e-econony. 😊
hydrogen? Like the sun??? Also energy density/cargo mass …
@@HLBeartoo bulky
Flux capacitor? haha 😛
Hydrogen fuel cell, or ammonia is as close as you'll get. There is really nothing like burning hydrocarbons to extract a stupid amount of energy out of a tiny volume.
I'm 70 years old. I demand to be accepted in the Future Factory and explore ideas;-)
Landing pads on buildings was tried in NYC till a NY Airways helicopter crashed on the roof of the (Pan Am) Met Life building and had to be disassembled and brought down piece by piece in the elevator.
I believe in the idea and have invested in Joby since they have already received their FAA Part 135 license but with the cost of the airframes and the batteries, this is going to be a tough business model. For instance, the lack of range eliminates rural areas from service, and then there are the landing charges of the FBOs which add up quickly using the "taxi" model.
Why are they showing us a episode 4 years ago?
Running out of ideas and use same content to earn more ad revenue. They'll repost it again in December
Noticed that as well... Thanks for labelling them with dates at least? Compilations make sense when you release a new part in a series. However -
Reposting content that is at best, 3+ years old doesn't make sense... and for a NEWS business, seems short sighted at best
gotta push the battery fad...
They're late for most news...
,,A *Vanderbilt C....no thanks
so its in the advertisementraelm show it 13 times so ill get it
Pulling American jobs should be illegal . Self driving trucks should be limited. I hope the government does something

@36:.6,,, That one word,, "NEEDED" is the very best word to describe truck drivers. HOW can we human's exist without our truck drivers? Can autinomis provide the same service our trucker drivers provide? Time will tell but I'm not nearly as optimistic as are some of these high paid engineers. No,, I'm NOT a truck driver but I highly respect their level of skill as they transport all we humankind NEED to exist from town to town. They do it right.
24mph is incredibly fast! I cannot believe how game changing Hexa can be. At only a million dollars apiece, this is going to change the way we commute. A $250 taxi ride to work is what every city worker dreams of! 30x less efficient than jet fuel by volume and 10x less efficient by mass, lacking variable pitch and having terrible rotor loading compared to a helicopter, I am eagerly awaiting what evtols might do in a few years… just wait for 2024 - what will the world look like? 😉
This is like where the Mercedes-Benz car was in 1886. Imagine where this technology will be in 2074. Like a car from 1886 to a 1936 Ford V8
Traditionally ultra lights have been a death trap. Many pilots know someone who died flying them.
4 min in and I’m over it
The concept of ownership is going to change. In the future everything will be borrowed. You call your transportation when you need it. It goes away to someone else when you don't. That simple.
We call that a taxi.
@@derk3933 A universal basic income for all and a dedicated place of automated services for the taxi will make sure you have a safe and clean ride to wherever you need to go, fast. You have no idea.

They’re cool these new trucks
Self flying and loud awesome! Yippee can hardly wait to see em! Redesigned helicopters / man operated drones with battery-powered motors. Pretty cool! How well do they work in harsh weather conditions? Very intriguing crafts.
That would be fun while prospectsing😎
I love how the makers of these talk about the difficulty of having the FAA approve how all these things are built and then we have door and cowling flying off of 700 series Boeing planes nearly every other week.
The future is now,. Good morning everyone ❤
60 Minutes tough questions.
"So the weight of everything must be an important thing?"
EXCELLENT QUESTION, VERY well thought out....
This is just for the rich and powrful, us peasants are going to be on the ground with our Donkeys when cars are banned.
…Some will only be able to carry ONE overweight passenger at a time ..
The guy they interviewed " spent 6 months driving" thats cute
Can’t wait to see driverless trucks! Especially since 50%of current truck drivers aren’t properly trained.
BP bought out TA and are installing chargers at all locations. Built in honing device and the whole nine. Currently trucking companies have special rights to employee immigrants because the industry treats them so bad Americans don't want anything to do with it. Shipping has become so super competitive they're pouring big dollars into capturing the market so this advancing quick. I would say we will see these driverless trucks on the road in the next 3 years
We’ll remember you said that after one of these rolling millstones pancakes you to the asphalt!
@@ponzo1967it's already happening
so you name your company BOOM, and it produces aircraft? i get that the boom is meant because of breaking the sound barrier, but, if one of these goes down, maaan, that name will haunt them.
This is Theramos, Wework, Nikola, all over again.
A plane with no engine. Not much boom is happening at the moment. Not sure people care much about the speed but prefer better services, and for doors and parts to stay on the plane.
Yes !
Just outrageous
The face of a man with money in his heart, not safety.
Haters hate.
@@20cmusic Thanks for the throwaway comment. you're blinded by progress.
This is a beautified death trap
How many die in car crashes every day?
Fatal car crashes in the US in 2022 = 42,795. That's an average fatal crash rate of ~16 deaths per 100,000 vehicles. If you drive, you already take your life in your hands every day.
@@HLBear I actually ride an E-bike. I don't like being in vehicles.🫡
Don't worry. If anything goes wrong, you can land the EVTOL with a Logitech controller
..Or next to a hog pen in Arkansas …🤭
Wanna know what i find to be the most funny thing about this video? The fact that this video ranges from multiple topics from supersonic flights, electric flying taxis, and even a futuristic factory that would even make Willy Wonka wanna ditch his oompaloompa's, yet depite that, the most replayed part of the whole video is on......the one with truckers......
I thought the most replayed part was how some random person knows the most replayed part.. Oh yeah, the Google headset..
YT shows viewers the use stats as soon as you open the video. Or have you not noticed it's right there for everyone no headset required?
Drivers are 1 of 4 most common jobs of American workers. Other 3: construction, foodservice, healthcare.

@alioxinfree I've noticed, in fact, that's why I'm saying so. Even still, you mean to tell me that you don't find that fact to be most fascinating??
So if they not ready then explain what exactly we are seeing in the sky at early late morning hours moving around up there above the clouds that we know is not an airplane of the commercial planes moving about and don't have the same lights shown when actually viewing these crafts at those early hours?
The people in power, with money, or both. Is'nt that the usual scenario?
Awesome
This is so awesome, and so terrifying... And I feel the same about autonomous cars
female trucker made a good point: accident ahead on the highway, and your vehicle needs to follow police instruction and re-route on the spot (driving on the shoulder?). I have criss-crossed the U.S. for thousands of miles. There is always an accident or an unpredicted change.

lol I’ve been growing herbs in "food computers" for 15 years already
My first flight lead me to many other flights as military passenger. In certain areas, San Francisco being foremost in mind, this mode of transport can be safe and affordable with well prepared routes and technology.
Having a large single screen in the X-59 is a mistake in my view. You should not have a single point of failure for something as crucial as this. I would split the screen into 2 as in the F-35
Hey man, just use an e-scooter lol. Pull your car over in rush hour, pop it out of the trunk and hop on the closest bike trail lol. I actually did this!
Metal propellers should be a requirement. It would be for me. I had a drone have a prop failure, and it ended up in pieces. Even losing power on one motor is can send you out of control. The insurance costs to operate one should be able to cover the costs of anything they could crash into. That Joby is the best so far. The super and hypersonic future is very exciting. Self driving semi's is a step to far! I have been in a blizzard pileup. When a human is in a semi, they will aim away from the accident. Self driving is designed to stay on the road, and in your lane.
Awesomee
think and aspire to be big, and you will be big! “build it and they will come!”
Why does Oceangate and Titan keep coming to mind?
25:18 Lol - when you put it that way.
That's revolutionary. I just hope it's safe. Very safe.
My dad is 73yrs and double empathy; can you please make two prosthesis for him?
6:50 This is the guy that made that Tripod! I thought that name sounded familiar.
I actually caught this Video six days later,but its interesting to me.
So, The Media Lab is an actual Lex Luthor training site....Great.
When it's affordable and the batteries last for hours (Practicality, safety margin, etc) AND approved for regular consumers without a ton of expense, training, and paperwork, maybe it will make sense.
And of course, making it have decent endurance means MUCH heavier and more expensive batteries unless batteries are MASSIVELY improved. Similar issue as BEV's, actually.
Batteries should be the backup. Hydrogen fuel-
Visions of a futuristic world meets reality. I wonder what kind of world today's children will grow up in, and then what it will look like in their golden years. If it's anything like I have seen through technological advances, I can't even begin to imagine how adaptable they will have to be.
i’m always curious to ask people older than me (i’m 19) how they view the technological shift in society, how much changed for you and did it shock you how much progress has been made ?
@@LiverPrime1 I can remember getting our first color TV! No internet, of course. No credit cards ... everything changed. Everything was so much easier back then. It has shocked me more than you could imagine. I am still shocked every single day by technology. It is wonderful that such a young person as yourself is taking an interest! Good for you!

Funny thing is, I became a webmaster for a school district for about four-years :) I remember having a terrible nightmare about the internet having heard about it, but never having seen it.

Lets do it the Jetsons let have flying cars😂😂😂
Constructuve suggestion to it's designers. Since it is light weight have you thought of integrating safety features of airbags and/or parachute attachments for the entire craft, in the event of drive failure. Overall, well done and your creativity input & venture us appreciated.
