Heard that flying car startup is pulling the plug. It that true?#airline #aviation #wisk #cora
Whaaaaaaaat
Mad ooo. And I just applied to a role there đ
Lol, why do you wanna leave Collins?
That was a question though guys
More like a baseless rumor that can be disproven with a simple Google search, but to each their own. đ€·
Wouldnât start a blind topic if it was just google searchable. BTW where there is smoke there is fire
It's true, Flyer was shut down. Tech Crunch has an entire article about it.
Not sure why you tagged Wisk and Cora, but Wisk is a separate company.
Wisk / Cora is different. Weâre doing fine here!
Which one are you at
Looks like wisk
Lot of people from wisk worked at KH previously, also isnât wisk funded by the same ppl? hence a lot of common ground
We havent perfected the self driving car and people are working on flying car. Even the ev car in danger now with low oil prices and so much unemployment all over the world
Infact flying car is much more achievable. First of all the AI itself is easier. No pedestrians you only can fly this many routes and 3D maneuverability.
Theyâre not equivalent, as @Way_Rooney said a self flying vehicle is actually easier. We also have experience building them weâve had autopilot in planes for decades.
We cant even have drones deliver my Walmart and amazon packages for legal/political/privacy issues let alone me going to work flying Even if it comes, it will be for the rich and those rich people already have flying options to goto kidâs basketball training sessions etc ...kobe brynt..so its will be less hassle than flying in helicopters for those
A quick Google search suggests they've retired their Flyer project in favor of the Heaviside project. A good chunk of the Flyer team was let go. Are you suggesting there's more going on?
Yes it seems that they have laid off quite a bit. Many non techs were let go
