Larry Page is rumored to be building a flying car, apparently dropping a whopping $100M into the effort. Surprisingly, this actually makes more sense to me than a self-driving car does, because it potentially solves two problems at once: You won’t have to fly the thing yourself; and it eliminates the need for roads for those who commute to work. If we go to drone delivery and take into account advances in 3D printing for much of the stuff we use, then roads could become like railroad tracks — just used for moving heavy stuff.
Hi, Rob. I loved the article. I'm not an tech expert but I'm into business opportunities. Does this has to do with artificial intelligence? I would love to know more about AI in general and how it can be used to generate profits. Thanks.
At the heart of this is an AI self driving system (well self flying actually) so yes it does. As far as using AI for profits currently that requires a major budget (the solutions aren't cheap). Expect Google, IBM, and Microsoft to have cloud AI solutions that are far more affordable by decade end though and that is likely where you should start. Until then keep your eyes open for AI implementations in your areas of interest.
