Flying Taxis Are Real and Elon Musks Thinks Its a "good design imo" - Lilium: Patrick Nathen

Today we’re traveling to Germany to talk to Patrick Nathen, co-founder of the German aviation company Lilium. The company has won numerous awards and raised hundreds of millions in investment for an idea that at first seemed laughably unimaginable: flying taxis. While this may seem more in line with the fantasies told to WWII vets and the imaginary world envisioned on the Jetsons, Patrick and his team have proved that these innovations are closer than you’d think. Oh also, Elon Musk is a fan, but we’ll get to that later. You may be thinking that those are some pretty ego-boosting accomplishments; well, think again. Patrick is one of the most humble down to Earth guys we’ve ever had on this show. But don’t let his mild mannered demeanor fool you though; he’s got a rebellious streak to him. It all started from his humble beginnings, growing up in Dusseldorf, Germany.
