Lilium Aviation founder Remo Gerber told the Web Summit in Lisbon that flying cars will be a reality as early as 2025

"Six years from now, in 2025, it is quite possible that this technology will already be implemented. We will reorganize mobility within cities. Regions will be better connected, and it will no longer be necessary to build new roads," Remo Gerber said during the 'Flying Cars and Cities of the Future' panel.

Speaking to a crowded room, the flying-car specialist and founder of American startup Lilium Aviation explained that he is currently designing and manufacturing the 'Jet Lilium', an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) car.

"[Rural] regions will also be better connected to metropolitan areas. The space capacity is tremendous, unlimited. And this will bring minimalism to the infrastructure," he said.

Remo Gerber explained that his flying car "will not sound like a helicopter" and that it will be "easier to maintain, easier to fly" and also "very safe."

Gerber added that it will be possible to "save billions of euros in infrastructure," as it will no longer be necessary to build new roads.

What is the meaning of the word Yoruba?

What is the meaning of the word Yoruba? Have you always thought about where the word Yoruba originated from? Have you heard many misconception and misapprehension that left you baffled? That was what got hold of me too so I decided to dig into it. What is the meaning of Yoruba? Does it have any inclination to our language? This is a thought provoking topic that needs profound reasoning and intense research for better understanding. It is time we faced the monster that keeps trailing us whom many try to ignore. In Yoruba culture, appellation is often derived from a prerequisite factor or foretelling. For fact telling, some name their child Owolabi hoping the child will bring fortune to the family, another one is that almost all Yoruba towns have their names derived from an event or a factor as illustrated in; Eba-Odan – Ibadan, Abe Okuta Olumo – Abeokuta and Ibi ti Ile ti yo – Oyo and so forth. However, these factors appear not partake in the word Yoruba. I asked a ...

I don’t need high chiefs’ endorsement to install chiefs —Olubadan

I don’t need high chiefs’ endorsement to install chiefs —Olubadan by Olufemi Atoyebi, Ibadan The Olubadan of Ibadan land, Oba Saliu Adetunji, has said he does not need the endorsement of the high chiefs before he can confer honorary traditional titles on recipients. Our correspondent learnt that the monarch will on November 11, 2017, honour the Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, with the title of Agbaakin Afiwagboye of Ibadan land, and others. This development, observers noted, could further deepen the crisis between the Olubadan and some of his high chiefs, who were elevated by the Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi to the status of kings recently. The new kings had opposed the move by the Olubadan to confer traditional titles on Shittu and others on Saturday (tomorrow). But speaking through his Director, Media and Public Affairs, Adeola Oloko, on Thursday, the Olubadan said that he was aware of the high chiefs’ opposition to the ce...
