Community Acceptance Key To UAM Market
Community acceptance will be the key driver when it comes to urban air mobility.

Community acceptance will be the key driver when it comes to urban air mobility. That was the message from Pamela Cohn, Hyundai vice president of global strategy and operations at its urban air mobility division. In January, Hyundai, the Korean automaker, revealed a concept design for an eVTOL air taxi. While technology is important, particularly its ability to reduce aircraft noise, intelligently integrating it into a working ecosystem carries equal weight, she said. And that starts with public education.
