Uber Unveils Concept For Flying Taxis

"Back to the Future" was made almost 20 years ago. In it, Doc Brown takes his time machine to the distant future of 2015, where flying cars zip around the California town of Hill Valley.

It's now 2018 and people are still wondering if we'll ever see those flying cars. Luckily, Uber might have an answer to that question.

The company held a summit last week called Uber Elevate where they showcased a prototype of a flying taxi.

Graham Warwick, the technology editor for Aviation Week, follows this personal air travel beat and could us whether or not flying cars are actually going to become a reality.
