One of the more interesting things Intel has on display at CES is the flying taxi prototype from German startup Volocopter. This company has partnered with Intel and has an 18-rotor air taxi prototype. To be honest, all these flying cars look more like helicopters but it's still pretty exciting. Full details The Verge.
Intel works on and with myriad drones, but it saw Volocopter as a way to test that technology on a much bigger scale, says Anil Nanduri, the drone group’s vice president and general manager.

“When you’re talking about [scaling this technology] up to flying transportation, you are now looking at sensors that need to processes huge amounts of data,” he says. “But what’s most important, it needs to be safe.”
