Larry Page, who helped start Google, is explaining how his famous flying car company is coming to an end. But now he’s giving more details about what might happen next.

The announcement was posted on LinkedIn, and he promised to keep users updated on what’s next.

Kittyhawk was renamed Zee Aero when Larry Paige hired Sebastian Thrun to complete the project. The first flying automobile video demo was released in 2017.

Paige was enthusiastic and said flying automobiles would be the next great thing, but we think he spoke too soon. The aim was to let companies like Uber operate them, but it didn’t work out.

The Flyer, released in 2018, can carry one person for 20 kilometres. The average prediction for flying cars in five years was too soon.

There were rumours of a Boeing collaboration. A total shutdown was planned for 2020 as greater attention turned to electric aircraft like Heaviside.

The company told a US news agency that today’s revelation won’t affect their collaboration with Boeing. They were proud to collaborate on electric air travel’s future. It’s a learning experience for them.

Google has decided to end operations, but it won’t affect its partnership with Wisk.

They’re thrilled to have founded the Wisk Aero electric aeroplane project. They’re delighted to see their innovative and sustainable work.

And they just want the company to know that they’ll keep working with Boeing no matter what.
