  • 2024 looks like it could be the take-off year for flying taxis
  • eVTOL flying taxi company Volocopter, based in Germany, says it intends to start commercial flights with its Volocity all-electric, vertical takeoff and landing flying taxi in 2024
  • Volocopter recently successfully completed a test flight over Paris with a pilot and passenger onboard, that operated out of the international airport and was monitored by Groupe ADP, an international airport operator
  • Volocopter says it will go commercial for all uses - urban commuting, medical and logistics
  • 18 rotors and 18 electric motors
  • 22 mile range
  • Top speed is 60 mph
  • In 2011, Volocopter was the first to build and fly an eVTOL and take a passenger for a test flight
  • Company expects to be flying its eVTOLs autonomously very soon
  • Flying taxis could be your new city commute.

  • Doctors & scientists at the University of Edinburgh have designed an AI-developed algorithm that diagnoses heart attack with more speed and accuracy than ever before
  • This new medical development is being called "transformational" because of its potential to greatly improve patient outcomes and emergency room efficiencies
  • Algorithm is called CoDE-ACS and it was able to rule out heart attacks in more than double the number of cases with 99.6% accuracy when compared with current methods
  • This new science was just published in the Nature Medicine Journal and is undergoing more clinical testing in Scotland
  • The potential of this is enormous to improve & provide quicker patient care for heart attack victims and to improve ER efficiency.
