Uber will hand over the details for its taxi service to NASA, which will simulate issues like air traffic and potential collisions in routes over Dallas-Fort Worth, one of the two cities which agreed to host the future flying ride-hailing endeavor. The other is Los Angeles, where Uber made this announcement today during its second annual Elevate conference.

If Uber wants its flying taxi service to become a reality, it's smart to deepen its relationship with a government agency that routinely handles logistics for ground-to-air traffic. But that's not the only news out of the Elevate conference: The ride-hailing company is also partnering with the US Army to spend a combined $1 million on making and testing a "flying taxi" concept, according to The Verge.
