Car and motorbike maker Honda Motor Co. is positioning itself for a vertical takeoff.
The Tokyo-based company is embarking on efforts to field a new electric-hybrid air taxi, a robot with human-like hands that may one day toil on the moon and a reusable rocket to carry small satellites into space more economically.
Honda’s vision of how people will work, travel and spend leisure time in the future will help expand its business beyond cars, lawn mowers and motorcycles. The efforts are a key component of Honda’s "2030 Vision” to broaden the definition of mobility and to improve peoples’ daily lives.
