Latające taksówki przestaną być tylko wizją. Toyota i Joby uruchamiają masową produkcję
Przez lata wizja elektrycznych samolotów pionowego startu (eVTOL) kojarzyła się głównie z efektownymi renderami i obietnicami startupów bez pokrycia. Teraz sytuacja zmienia się diametralnie.
Do gry o niebo nad miastami na poważnie wkracza motoryzacyjny gigant. Toyota łączy siły z firmą Joby Aviation, by przenieść produkcję latających taksówek z fazy inżynieryjnych eksperymentów prosto na masowe taśmy montażowe.
Japońska precyzja i amerykańska technologia
Obie firmy oficjalnie powołały do życia nową spółkę o nazwie Joby Toyota Aero Manufacturing Preparation Company. Japoński koncern nie zamierza być w tym układzie wyłącznie cichym inwestorem z grubym portfelem – Toyota objęła 51 procent udziałów w przedsięwzięciu, przejmując de facto kontrolę nad przygotowaniem procesu wytwórczego. Pozostałe 49 procent należy do Joby Aviation, kalifornijskiego lidera w rozwoju pasażerskich maszyn eVTOL. Siedziba nowej firmy zlokalizowana jest w Stanach Zjednoczonych, a za jej stery chwycił Yosuke Tsuruta.
Dlaczego to tak ważny ruch na rynku nowych technologii? Startupy lotnicze potrafią zaprojektować innowacyjne pojazdy, ale zazwyczaj polegają na etapie ich opłacalnej, powtarzalnej budowy. Toyota wnosi do spółki swoje kilkudziesięcioletnie doświadczenie w logistyce, zarządzaniu łańcuchem dostaw oraz legendarny System Produkcyjny Toyoty (TPS), który zrewolucjonizował branżę motoryzacyjną.
Od drogiego prototypu do lotów komercyjnych
W pierwszej fazie działalności kalifornijska spółka skupi się na budowaniu solidnych fundamentów pod produkcję komercyjną. Inżynierowie mają za zadanie maksymalnie zredukować koszty budowy i wyeliminować błędy jakościowe podczas montażu. Skonstruowanie prototypu to jedno, ale wyprodukowanie tysięcy bezpiecznych egzemplarzy w sposób opłacalny finansowo to wyzwanie, na którym poległo już wielu branżowych wizjonerów.
W kolejnym kroku joint venture zajmie się potężnym wyzwaniem formalnym, jakim jest wsparcie procesu certyfikacji maszyn do regularnych lotów pasażerskich. Zaangażowanie strukturalne Toyoty pokazuje jasno, że elektryczna mobilność powietrzna przestaje być mrzonką. Wielki biznes uwierzył w latające taksówki, co oznacza, że komercyjne pojazdy eVTOL mogą pojawić się na niebie szybciej, niż się spodziewaliśmy.

Xpeng’s flying car just got real — and the future is annoyingly expensive
Xpeng’s Land Aircraft Carrier blends road travel with vertical flight in a bold step toward everyday air mobilityDear Cherubs, China’s flying-car circus has moved from shiny prototype to something far less imaginary. Xpeng’s Land Aircraft Carrier, the modular road-and-air machine from its flying-car arm now known as Aridge, has been pushed through public demonstrations, trial production, and a growing pile of orders that suggests people really do want traffic to stop existing.
THE PITCH
According to XPENG, the Land Aircraft Carrier is designed as a two-part system: a six-wheel ground vehicle that carries and supports a detachable electric aircraft module. The company says the project is meant to combine everyday driving with vertical takeoff and landing, which is either the future of mobility or the most expensive way to avoid a red light. XPENG’s own materials say the broader flying-car program has been in development for years, with the Land Aircraft Carrier framed as a modular leap rather than a one-piece sci-fi gimmick.
The headline-grabbing numbers are doing a lot of work here. The company has said the vehicle can reach a top air speed of about 360 km/h, cover more than 1,000 kilometers in combined ground and air use, carry four to five passengers, and cost under 2 million yuan, or roughly $280,000 to $290,000 depending on the exchange rate and how much optimism is in the room. XPENG also said it had more than 7,000 pre-orders by late 2025 and early 2026, helped by a 600-unit Gulf order that the company presented as a major international breakthrough.
WHY PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT
The reason this thing keeps making headlines is not just the gadget factor. It is the timing. China is pouring energy into what it calls the low-altitude economy, and XPENG has been loudly positioning itself as one of the first companies to turn that policy mood into hardware you can actually point at. Reuters reported an earlier Xpeng flying-drone test flight in Guangzhou in 2024, and by 2025 the company was openly describing the Land Aircraft Carrier as heading toward mass production and delivery in 2026.
Still, there is a gap between “looks real on video” and “your neighbor parks one outside the building.” Certification, airworthiness approval, operational rules, pilot training, insurance, charging, landing infrastructure, and public safety all remain very real hurdles. XPENG itself has acknowledged that mass production depends on certification and qualification steps, which is a polite corporate way of saying the sky has paperwork too.
For now, the Land Aircraft Carrier is less a finished transport revolution than a signpost. It shows that flying cars have finally escaped the land of filtered concept art and entered the much messier world of factories, regulators, and people asking, with a straight face, whether this thing is actually going to work. Hot take: that alone is progress.

Uber Air wystartuje w Dubaju jeszcze w tym roku
Zamawiasz przejazd w aplikacji, wsiadasz do Uber Black, a ten zawozi Cię na lądowisko, skąd elektryczna taksówka powietrzna zabiera Cię nad zakorkowanym miastem. To już nie jest wizja z filmów science fiction. Uber i Joby Aviation oficjalnie ogłaszają start usługi Uber Air.
Projekt, o którym w Dolinie Krzemowej mówiło się od lat, wreszcie wchodzi w fazę komercyjną. Firmy Uber oraz Joby Aviation (firma specjalizuje się w projektowaniu elektrycznych statków powietrznych pionowego startu i lądowania – eVTOL) połączyły siły, by zintegrować loty pasażerskie z popularną aplikacją transportową. Pierwsi pasażerowie wzbiją się w powietrze nad Dubajem jeszcze przed końcem tego roku.
Jak to zadziała w praktyce?
Z perspektywy użytkownika proces ma być równie prosty, co zamówienie zwykłego przejazdu. Po wpisaniu celu podróży w aplikacji Uber, algorytm oceni, czy trasa kwalifikuje się do przelotu. Jeśli tak, na ekranie pojawi się opcja „Uber Air”.
Usługa ma charakter multimodalny, co oznacza, że aplikacja zepnie całą logistykę w jedną rezerwację:
- Zamówienie samochodu w standardzie Uber Black, który dowiezie pasażera na wyznaczone lądowisko (vertiport).
- Przelot elektryczną taksówką Joby.
- Odbiór z lądowiska docelowego przez kolejnego Ubera i transport pod same drzwi.
Twarde dane: 320 km/h nad miastem
Maszyny Joby Aviation to nie są drony, w których pasażer jest zdany wyłącznie na algorytmy. Za sterami każdej z nich usiądzie licencjonowany pilot, a na pokład wejdą maksymalnie cztery osoby.
Konstrukcja opiera się na sześciu wychylnych wirnikach, co pozwala na pionowy start i lądowanie (jak w helikopterze) oraz płynne przejście do lotu poziomego (jak w samolocie). Elektryczna maszyna rozpędza się do 320 km/h i oferuje zasięg na poziomie 160 kilometrów na jednym ładowaniu. Została zaprojektowana z myślą o gęstej zabudowie miejskiej, co w praktyce oznacza radykalnie obniżony poziom hałasu względem klasycznych śmigłowców.
Najpierw Dubaj, potem reszta świata
Start w Zjednoczonych Emiratach Arabskich to dopiero początek. Obie firmy współpracują ze sobą od 2019 roku, a w 2021 roku Joby przejęło cały dział Elevate należący do Ubera.
Obecnie maszyny Joby (mające za sobą już ponad 80 tysięcy kilometrów lotów testowych) znajdują się w ostatniej fazie procesu certyfikacyjnego przed amerykańską Federalną Administracją Lotnictwa (FAA). Gdy tylko zdobędą odpowiednie zgody, usługa Uber Air ma rozszerzyć się na kolejne światowe rynki, w tym Nowy Jork, Los Angeles, Wielką Brytanię oraz Japonię.

Weekly output: teens + AI chatbots, Android updates, Trump on data-center energy use, Archer + Starlink, balcony solar, customer feedback, CDA 230 + AI, Bluetooth updates
BARCELONA–It’s a treat to be able to start off a post with this dateline. This is the 13th trip that’s afforded me that opportunity and the 12th involving MWC. But this trip isn’t like the ones before it in one way; on my way across the Atlantic, my country started a war of choice because the president felt like it. The world is better without Iran’s worthless, murdering theocrat Ali Khameni, but I have little confidence in the Trump administration’s ability to do the right things for that long-suffering country.
In addition to the links you see below, Patreon readers got a bonus post from me in which I shared lessons learned from more than 10 years of booking Airbnbs.
2/24/2026: Most Teens Use AI for Homework Help. 10% Let It Do Everything, PCMag
Getting an advance copy of this new study from the Pew Research Center gave me a chance to note a new student-understudy chatbot called Einstein and quiz the CEO behind that app.
2/25/2026: Android Update Puts Gemini AI In the Driver’s Seat for Ride-Hail, Food Orders, PCMag
I have somehow become PCMag’s Android-updates guy. This report included a little testimony about Google’s call-scam-detection feature misfiring for me, an important bit of context to include in a post telling readers about Google bringing that tool to Samsung’s new Galaxy S26 series of phones.
2/25/2026: As Energy Costs Soar, Trump Pushes AI Giants to ‘Produce Their Own Electricity’, PCMag
I didn’t watch the entire State of the Union address because self-care is an important thing, but after reading about President Trump’s call for data-center operators to pay for their electricity and power infrastructure, I knew I’d have to write about that initiative.
2/27/2028: Archer Aviation Taps Starlink for Air Taxi Connectivity, PCMag
I still don’t quite get the point of adding Starlink connectivity to aircraft that won’t fly longer than 15 minutes or higher than 4,000 feet above major cities, but this was an easy post to crank out Friday morning before heading to Dulles that afternoon to start my journey to Spain.
2/28/2026: After Years of Shining in Europe, Balcony Solar Comes Out of the Dark in the US, PCMag
This story had been in the works for literally months–I took the photo you see at the top of the piece on the afternoon that I arrived in Berlin for IFA in September–but the policy picture has also changed dramatically, and for the better, over the intervening months.
2/28/2026: What’s the Best Way to Get Customer Feedback in 2026? Hint: It’s Not Email, PCMag
Two weeks after the customer-experience firm Medallia had me at its annual conference in Vegas (with my hotel covered upfront and my airfare to be reimbursed), PCMag ran my recap of what I learned there.
3/1/2026: Online Platforms Are Not Liable for What Users Post. Should That Include Gen AI?, PCMag
I spent Thursday at the Cato Institute for this enlightening conference marking the 30th anniversary of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the 1996 act that bars you from suing an online platform for something that one of its users posted.
3/1/2026: Bluetooth Is Getting an Upgrade. Here’s What It Means for Your Devices, PCMag
I took almost all of the notes for this at CES in January, but I needed more time to confirm some details and then write the post, after which its lack of a news peg left it easy to set aside for a bit.

The world is better without Iran’s worthless, murdering theocrat Ali Khameni, but I have little confidence in the Trump administration’s ability to do the right things for that long-suffering country.
In addition to the links you see below, Patreon readers got a bonus post from me in which I shared lessons learned from more than 10 years of booking Airbnbs.
2/24/2026: Most Teens Use AI for Homework Help. 10% Let It Do Everything, PCMag
Getting an advance copy of this new study from the Pew Research Center gave me a chance to note a new student-understudy chatbot called Einstein and quiz the CEO behind that app.
2/25/2026: Android Update Puts Gemini AI In the Driver’s Seat for Ride-Hail, Food Orders, PCMag
I have somehow become PCMag’s Android-updates guy. This report included a little testimony about Google’s call-scam-detection feature misfiring for me, an important bit of context to include in a post telling readers about Google bringing that tool to Samsung’s new Galaxy S26 series of phones.
2/25/2026: As Energy Costs Soar, Trump Pushes AI Giants to ‘Produce Their Own Electricity’, PCMag
I didn’t watch the entire State of the Union address because self-care is an important thing, but after reading about President Trump’s call for data-center operators to pay for their electricity and power infrastructure, I knew I’d have to write about that initiative.
2/27/2028: Archer Aviation Taps Starlink for Air Taxi Connectivity, PCMag
I still don’t quite get the point of adding Starlink connectivity to aircraft that won’t fly longer than 15 minutes or higher than 4,000 feet above major cities, but this was an easy post to crank out Friday morning before heading to Dulles that afternoon to start my journey to Spain.
2/28/2026: After Years of Shining in Europe, Balcony Solar Comes Out of the Dark in the US, PCMag
This story had been in the works for literally months–I took the photo you see at the top of the piece on the afternoon that I arrived in Berlin for IFA in September–but the policy picture has also changed dramatically, and for the better, over the intervening months.
2/28/2026: What’s the Best Way to Get Customer Feedback in 2026? Hint: It’s Not Email, PCMag
Two weeks after the customer-experience firm Medallia had me at its annual conference in Vegas (with my hotel covered upfront and my airfare to be reimbursed), PCMag ran my recap of what I learned there.
3/1/2026: Online Platforms Are Not Liable for What Users Post. Should That Include Gen AI?, PCMag
I spent Thursday at the Cato Institute for this enlightening conference marking the 30th anniversary of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the 1996 act that bars you from suing an online platform for something that one of its users posted.
3/1/2026: Bluetooth Is Getting an Upgrade. Here’s What It Means for Your Devices, PCMag
I took almost all of the notes for this at CES in January, but I needed more time to confirm some details and then write the post, after which its lack of a news peg left it easy to set aside for a bit.
