Uber Elevate will change the way we transport, vacation and simply live our day to day activities.
Although the idea is phenomenal and exciting the air traffic control systems, software, hardware the legal ramifications of this new mode of transportation still contains many unsettled issues. To counteract uneasy sentiments Uber has signed a Space Act Agreement to create a new air traffic control system, managing these low-flying “cars”.
