Thanks to Bell’s hybrid-electric flying car, which will be available via Uber sometime in 2020. CES 2019 LIVE Updates What we are looking at is Bell Nexus, which is currently nothing more than a concept taxi. it will use six fans to take off and land. Bell joined hands with Uber back in 2017. As a result, Uber's flying taxi service is expected to be a reality in the not-too-distant future. Bell is showing off Bell Nexus at CES. There will be a conference session called 'The Flying Car' at Day 2 of CES. It kicks off at 9 AM PST (10:30 PM IST).
