摩尔在自己的领英(LinkedIn)简介中写道,他对无人空中系统和个人飞行器的研究可能“带来航空技术的转变,这种转变有望在未来20年产生十分巨大的影响力和市场价值”。在一篇他任职NASA期间发表的论文中,他解释说:“与现有的短距离飞行能力(无论是无人还是载人飞行器)相比,零排放、高效率、高可靠性、极低噪声的垂直起降能力将成为游戏规则的颠覆者。”
Such a disruptive approach would naturally appeal to Uber, which has already broughtsweeping changes to the taxi industry and is credited by some with accelerating a decline incar ownership. Uber is already investing in self-driving cars, striking partnerships with Volvoand Daimler, as well as autonomous trucks through last year’s acquisition of Otto.
这种颠覆性路径对优步具有天然吸引力,它不仅已经给出租车行业带来全面变化,还被有些人认为促使汽车保有量加速下降。优步已投资于自动驾驶汽车,并与沃尔沃(Volvo)和戴姆勒(Daimler)建立合作关系,去年还通过收购奥托(Otto)投资自动驾驶卡车领域。
Uber in its white paper last year proposed taking that work to another level, envisioning asystem of “vertiports” and “vertistops” for transport between suburbs and cities andeventually within cities themselves.
在去年发布的白皮书中,优步提出要将这方面的工作提升至另一高度,展望了在郊区与城市间、最终在市内建立由“垂直起降机场”和“垂直起降站点”构成的交通运输系统。
