While Elon Musk wants to alleviate traffic jams by pulling your car underground, Bell is looking to go in the other direction… literally. Bell just introduced its Air Taxi, a self-piloting “helicopter” that will take off and land vertically. The driving factor here is time, and saving you more of it during a particularly grueling commute, as the on-demand Air Taxi will pack technologies like video calling and WiFi so you can work while you take to the skies and shorten your travel time. Uber is on board, as we reported recently, with the plan to have these puppies in the air in 2020, so you can hail one through Uber Elevate. Each Air Taxi will boast seating for four, travel updates, and much more. That crosstown commute just got a little more scenic.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
