TabTimes-"Google’s Nexus 7 tablet has been a hit with more models expected, but Google CEO Larry Page says deciding what technology to include and keeping the company’s many Android device partners happy is a challenge."
What is it about billionaires and reaching for the stars or at least the skies? Amazon’s Jeff Bezos has Blue Origin, while Richard Branson has Virgin Galactic. Now, Google’s Larry Page has backed his second flying vehicle startup. Although Canada’s Opener doesn’t promise a trip to space like the other ones, it does offer something much closer to becoming a reality.
Kitty Hawk, which is the startup that has been working on this ambitious project, has managed to create the Flyer, the first flying car and Casey Neistat is flying it.
A flying car project backed by Google co-founder Larry Page was closer to take-off on Wednesday, with a model for test flights by aspiring buyers.
Kitty Hawk, funded by Page, unveiled a "Flyer" model it described as "an exciting first step to sharing the freedom of flight."
