Hyundai Motor Group’s air taxi concept vehicle, the S-A1, is on display until 10 December during GITEX Technology Week
Hyundai Motor Group was invited to showcase a full scale, all-electric model at the event after the game-changing technology was named on Etisalat’s ‘Best Innovations in 2020’ list.
The display also features a virtual reality zone that illustrates how Hyundai Motor Group’s Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vision will ‘help reduce passenger commute times and relieve congested ground transportation’.
“Hyundai is developing core technologies that will establish it as the driving force behind Urban Air Mobility, offering a new and affordable transportation paradigm,” said Jaiwon Shin, EVP and head of Urban Air Mobility Division, Hyundai Motor Group.
According to the South Korean firm, UAM is expected to become a critically important component of integrated mobility solutions as “cities worldwide continue to grow, with the world population projected to reach 9.7 billion in 2050 — two-thirds of which will live in urban areas.”
