New Zealanders will soon be able to move on a self-drive electric taxi, after the national airline, "Air New Zealand", announced its cooperation with the California-based "Zephyr Aerrex" Company on Tuesday.
The two companies said in a statement that the agreement with the operator of the company "Cora ", a plane resembling something between a normal plane and an unmanned aerial plane, indicates the intention to make electric air travel a reality for all New Zealanders.
Christopher Luxon, CEO of Air New Zealand, said that the airline is willing to adopt fresh technologies that make life easier and use the potential of clean energy solutions for travel.
"By developing a self-driving electric air taxi, the ability to reach from one place to another quickly and securely, while mitigating the impact of polluting emissions, will become very real," he said.
The company has conducted secret tests on its "flying cars " since October 2017 in the Canterbury area of South Island, New Zealand, and has provided it to the public in March.
