I toured an electric 'air taxi' that plans to launch in New York and Los Angeles as soon as 2025. See inside.
Briefly

Joby's eVTOL, a helicopter-airplane hybrid, is designed for short flights, offering a balance of speed and efficiency with features catering to urban transport.
The aircraft is very easy and simple to fly. There are already commercial operations with single pilots that fly no problem, like Cape Air and New York City helicopters.
Pilots will need at least 500 hours of flight experience, with an instrument rating required; experienced pilots from airlines will be part of the hiring pipeline.
Airline pilots are gone all the time, between transcontinental flights, all-nighters, and international flights; flying for Joby allows flexibility and being home every night.
