About this episode

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. 


  • 17:28 | Ready for the Driverless Sky?
  • 30:17 | The Future of Urban Transportation
  • 1:03:23 | Disrupting the Aerospace Industry


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.
