After a breakthrough with high energy density battery designs, in partnership with Panasonic, Boeing has approached Tesla to bring the new 'first person view drone transport' to reality.
The new 'ships' will carry up to eight passengers autonomously and have a range of 150 nautical miles and use a proprietary guidance system written in part by Microsoft.
"The synergies in teaming up with Microsoft were just obvious as we live in the same town" a Boeing spokesperson said.
Google is also working on a similar concept but has been unable to get it off the ground after negative feedback regarding their dalliance with self guided cars.
Solar Roadways has supported the concept which will give their project more operational sunlight by taking cars off the road.
Reports that an Australian commentator saying "That's just bullsh!t" remain that - just reports.
