Joby Aviation Opens Slightly Lower After FAA Gives Nod To Air-Taxi Software
Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE:JOBY) opened slightly lower on Thursday after the company announced that it has secured approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its proprietary software suite, "ElevateOS." The software is intended to optimize air taxi operations.
週四，航空公司喬比航空公司（NYSE：JOBY）開盤稍低，因該公司宣佈獲得聯邦航空管理局（FAA）對其專有軟件套件“ElevateOS”的批准。該軟件旨在優化空中出租車運營。
What Happened: At the time of writing, Joby was trading -1.42% lower at $4.929, according to Benzinga Pro.
發生了什麼：截至撰寫本文時，據Benzinga Pro稱，Joby正以4.929美元的價格下跌1.42％交易。
As per the company's announcement on Thursday, ElevateOS encompasses pilot tools, operations and schedule management software, a mobile-first rider app, and an intelligent matching engine. This engine, similar to those employed by ride-hailing apps, connects passengers with available aircraft and landing infrastructure for seamless journeys. Joby Aviation intends to utilize ElevateOS for its air taxi operations and make it available to select partners who purchase their aircraft.
根據該公司週四的公告，ElevateOS包括飛行員工具、運營和時間表管理軟件、以及智能匹配引擎。該引擎類似於打車應用程序使用的引擎，將乘客與可用的飛機和着陸基礎設施連接起來，以實現無縫旅行。喬比航空公司計劃利用ElevateOS進行其空中出租車運營，並將其提供給購買其飛機的選定合作伙伴。
The company is set to unveil the ElevateOS operating system during a virtual presentation later today. The event will also highlight other measures Joby is taking to facilitate the commencement of commercial air taxi operations as early as 2025. This includes pilot training and simulating its planned air taxi service using a conventional aircraft that carries the same number of passengers as Joby's aircraft.
該公司計劃在今天晚些時候的虛擬演示中展示ElevateOS操作系統。該活動還將突出顯示喬比正在採取的其他措施，以促進自2025年以來儘早開展商業航空出租車運營。這包括飛行員培訓以及通過搭載與喬比飛機相同數量乘客的傳統飛機來模擬其計劃的空中出租車服務。
Joby has already tested key aspects of its planned operations using the ElevateOS software, courtesy of a Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate granted by the FAA over two years ago. The tests included offering on-demand passenger service to Joby team members, matching passengers with similar routes, accepting payments for whole-aircraft chartered flights, and integrating the use of the Joby pilot app, rider app and back-end operational software.
早在兩年前，FAA授予的第135部分空運承運人證書就讓喬比測試了其計劃操作的關鍵方面，其中包括向喬比團隊成員提供按需客運服務，將乘客與相似路線匹配，接受整架飛機包租船的支付，並整合使用喬比的飛行員應用程序、乘客應用程序和後端運營軟件。
The company has been actively developing and testing these software tools in-house since acquiring Uber Elevate, Uber's air taxi division, in 2021.
自2021年收購Uber Elevate，Uber的空中出租車部門以來，該公司一直在內部積極開發和測試這些軟件工具。
Why It Matters: Joby Aviation's vision of a futuristic commute, flying from downtown Manhattan to JFK Airport in under seven minutes, is inching closer to reality. With $400 million backing from Toyota Motor Corporation and $60 million from Delta Air Lines, Inc., Joby aims to pioneer the launch of air taxis, or eVTOLs, to market. The FAA's approval of ElevateOS is a crucial step towards this goal.
爲了實現每七分鐘從曼哈頓中城到JFK機場的未來通勤願景，喬比航空公司的願景正逐漸成爲現實。在得到豐田汽車公司的40億美元和Delta Air Lines，Inc.的6000萬美元支持後，喬比旨在引領空中出租車或垂直起降飛機（eVTOL）的市場推廣。 FAA對ElevateOS的批准是實現這一目標的重要一步。
Despite mixed results in the fourth quarter of 2023, the company remains focused on its 2024 commercialization plans.
儘管2023年第四季度結果表現不佳，但該公司仍專注於其2024年商業化計劃。
