Elon Musk Made jokes of Flying Taxi plan of UBER.

·        Founder of Tesla Elon Musk told that flying cars would be big and noisy overhead.
While speaking to the students at IIT Delhi on his first visit to India he has taken over as UBER CEO, DARA KHOSROWSAHI took a dig at Elon Musk's Boring Company, saying, "why dig tunnels when you can use the air?"
"We like Uber Air more. We are working to making VTOL [vertical take-off and landing] a reality in the next 5 - 6 years," he added. "Why dig tunnels when you can use the air?"
Now Musk is working on building tunnels to connect New York and Washington DC, is never one to take this things lying down. On Twitter, Musk came back with reply, tweet "If you love drones above your house, you'll really love vast numbers of 'cars' flying over your head that are 1000 times bigger and noisier and blow away anything that isn't nailed down when they land."
Now Uber has a program called Uber" Elevate" that focuses  on flying taxis. At UBER's Elevate summit, the company said that they expect to deploy flying taxis by 2020. .
However, Musk also has a very valid point. it would be significantly bigger than a personal drone, and consequently louder as well.it may create issues. .
Beyond all this, there is also another fact that Amazon is looking to the skies for the expansion of transport business, which might become just as crowded as our roads, as more such projects take off. Later in the day, Khosrowshahi added that this might happen sooner than people think.

"We're closer than you think. The key here is actually battery technology," he said. "The new generation of batteries is actually going to be light enough and dense enough, to be able to power rotors that are much smaller than the helicopter rotors that you see, so you can have vehicles that have, four to eight rotors, each of which because they're smaller will be much smaller, there will be much less noise pollution, they will be much quieter and safer as well. We are now actively working on on the Uber Elevate project, I think we will have vehicles that are flying in five years, and you will have commercialisation in ten years or sooner."
