Having gone to Abu Dhabi several times for cleantech conferences, I could see that UAE leaders were very keen on futuristic tech and very keen on superlatives — the biggest, the first, the tallest, the fastest, etc. So, I knew it would be quick to deploy robotaxis. Today, the capital … [continued]

I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time! I recall the first time I saw Google self-driving vehicles on the streets of Palo Alto — in 2012! You can view some really old, bad video footage of the car here and here. Of course, Waymo wasn’t a thing … [continued]

In recent posts to his social media site, Elon Musk took aim at a tough target: the Lockheed-Martin F-35 Lightning II. Not only is it stealthy (something Musk claims to have a workaround for), but he also thinks it’s a monetary boondoggle that his unofficial “government agency” should try to get … [continued]

XPENG has gone a slightly different route with its electric aircraft than others inching into this space. It has developed a 2-person quadcopter drone that fits inside of a 6-wheeled electric van. It makes me think of the Transformers, even though it’s not really that. You can watch the process … [continued]

Electric air taxis are not going to take over transportation. In my humble opinion, our skies are not going to be full of small aircraft that look like giant bugs. We won’t have swarms of aircraft risking collision and devastating crashes into buildings. However, I do believe that electric air … [continued]
