In this episode, Peter and Adam discuss the future of transportation, when we’ll have flying cars, and how vehicle technology will evolve in the coming years.

Adam Goldstein, founder and CEO of Archer since October 2018, previously led Vettery from 2012 to 2019 and served as Co-Managing Partner at Minetta Lane Capital Partners. His career includes roles as Portfolio Manager at Plural Investments and Senior Analyst at Cedar Hill Capital Partners. Goldstein, a board member of the Museum of American Finance, holds a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Florida and an M.B.A. from NYU Stern School of Business.

Archer’s goal is to transform urban travel, replacing 60–90-minute commutes by car with estimated 10-20 minute electric air taxi flights that are safe, sustainable, low noise, and cost-competitive with ground transportation. Archer’s Midnight is a piloted, four-passenger aircraft designed to perform rapid back-to-back flights with minimal charge time between flights.
