Joby Aviation and its partner Uber have released a preview of the mobile app interface that will allow Uber riders to book flights on Joby’s four-passenger eVTOL air taxi. 

The new aerial ride-hailing service—dubbed “Uber Air powered by Joby”—builds on the Uber Elevate platform that Uber began developing in 2016 and subsequently sold to Joby in 2020. As part of the acquisition deal, Uber remained a strategic partner on the program and invested a further $75 million in Joby, following a $50 million investment earlier that year.
