  • About

    Uber

    Uber
  • Uber is a popular American online cab aggregator that helps network cab drivers to riders.

    Relying heavily on a mobile application platform, users of the company's app can request for a trip and an available driver at the nearest location is mapped to the customer.

    Starting out seven years ago, the company has touched revenue figures amounting to $1.5 billion last year.

    The world of flying cars

    The world of flying cars
  • Ever since 1917, visionaries across the world have attempted to build cars that could fly, despite falling short of making this a reality.

    The Curtiss Autoplane developed in 1917 managed a few hops, but never really took off to the sky.

    Soon afterwards, the Airphibian, a plane for roads, was invented.

    The successful Airphibian faced a dearth of funds and couldn't reach the market.
