Two Florida-based innovation companies, JetX and Node Air, are developing a unique transportation system involving detachable pods that connect to air and ground vehicles. Here are the pertinent facts:
- A unique new form of integrated air and ground travel that is autonomous
- Ground transportation is provided by a passenger pod on an EV chassis that drives to the customer's location to pick them up
- The EV chassis has its own autonomous driving system, sensors, electric motors, batteries and steering
- Passenger is driven to a take-off point where an autonomous drone is waiting
- EV chassis releases the passenger pod and the drone secures the pod from above it
- Drone, with its own autonomous, aviation system flies the passenger to their destination, where another land chassis takes them to their final destination such as a hotel
- Travel system is designed for maximum efficiency
- JetX is working on a new modular aircraft concept for the system that uses their non-tilting thrust vectoring technology
- System has multiple uses beyond passenger travel, including for package delivery and as a flying ambulance.
