Archer Aviation has been selected as the "official air taxi provider" for the Los Angeles Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2028, the company said Thursday. Why it matters: The nominally "no-car" Olympics are the biggest possible showcase for the future of urban air mobility.

The LA28 organizing committee has partnered with Archer Aviation as the official air taxi provider for the Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA with the aim of creating areas around the region where VIPs and fans can take mini-helicopters to and from key venues.

At the LA28 Olympic Games, electric air taxis will transport attendees between key venues including SoFi Stadium and LAX — all for the price of a luxury ride share.
