Joby Aviation could be one of the first companies to launch its air taxi service, aiming to expand passenger transport options with a new form of air travel that promises to redefine urban mobility. Originally, Joby envisioned starting its air taxi service by 2024. However, due to various challenges, it appears that this timeline will be extended. Despite this delay, the testing phase for these advanced air taxis is well underway, demonstrating impressive technological progress and marking a significant milestone in the development of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles.
