Eyeing aircraft maker, Airbus, to the sky as a solution to the problems of increasing traffic congestion, which will launch the Bird taxi model in the coming year.
Do we have to stay at home?
For those living in densely populated cities, is considered an hour of traffic congestion daily struggle, it is difficult to get used to it, it has movement in various cities around the world, the time has increased over the past few years.
No one is immune, not even the most brilliant minds in the world. It noted the aircraft manufacturer Airbus cynical; that entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley are creating many new things every day, but they did not find a solution to the most important problems; namely traffic congestion. The company wrote on its website: "proud of Silicon Valley's fast, but during rush hour stop everything." She added: "The situation is much worse in other cities, such as Mumbai, Manila and Tokyo." In the Philippines, the study suggests that $ 57 million of the main income is expected wasted on traffic per day, and this figure will increase to 129 million dollars a day in 2030. This loss is estimated at around US $ 160 billion annually.

In response to this, eyeing companies including Airbus to the sky as an alternative solution: Auto plane! The company is planning to acquire a form of self-control plane car in the coming year. The company says, "to address this problem, a group Airbus will harness the expertise to achieve the dream of travelers and commuters: fly over traffic jams push of a button."

The beginning; we Anridha roam without control so as not to cause havoc in the cities. Yes, we want a solution to traffic problems, but without endangering people's lives at risk. The big challenge for the company Airbus is developing a system to avoid obstacles, as in self-driving cars.
Second, as is the case with most new technologies, there is a waiting period pending the appropriate laws and rules mode. Airbus actually will get the approval for service delivery using drones in Singapore over the next year.
They are building a plane vehicles unmanned system called Vahana , and is capable of transporting goods and people.
The aim of this long-term plan to enable travelers and passengers of the plane to call the vehicle through the application on their mobile phones, such as the upper Company. The trips involved in this plane service, called City Airbus, will reduce costs.
