At this year’s CES show in Las Vegas, which opens tomorrow, Bell will demonstrate a model-sized cityscape with scale flying versions of its Nexus passenger air taxi operating autonomously by Bell’s AerOS urban air mobility operating system. Calling it a “smart city ecosystem,” Bell president and CEO Mitch Snyder explained, “this year, we’re demonstrating what governing, operating, working, and living in a smart city will look like.”
