Larry Page, founder of Google and now CEO of parent company Alphabet, apparently has secret ambitions. As if self-driving cars is not enough, he apparently wants to take off even with a car, you know that Bloomberg. Page invested in silence more than $ 100 million of his own money in two start-ups, “Zee.Aero ‘and’ Kitty Hawk ‘called.
Suikeroom
Zee.Aero a start-up in San Francisco in which, yes, is Mountain View. Currently employs about 150 people. The plans of the company are really profound. In hangars are two prototypes of flying cars stored that learned Bloomberg. Regular Zee.Aero also includes test flights.
Suikeroom Larry Page would have spent more than $ 100 million to the company alone. How far Pages investments in other business, Kitty Hawk, rich is not even known yet. What is certain is that the company operates independently of Zee.Aero.
Parking at Aldi
Bloomberg also got an insight into the plans of Zee.Aero. The company wants to build flying cars that show similarities as far as possible in terms of use and comfort with the current cars. So show drawings vertically oriented propellers for takeoff, but that can also fold neatly again for those who want parking easier in the traditional way.

Who thought there is often exaggerated in movies, it is thoroughly wrong. Bloomberg also talks about how Page at all costs wanted to avoid would become known his plans. Especially in the early days of Zee.Aero was the CEO of Alphabet extremely cautious. Employees of the auto / airline could not even call him by his name.
He Who Must Not Be Named hired reportedly in the early history of the company the top floor of a building off to Zee.Aero. Employees of the start-up called Page invariably ‘GUS’. That stands for “Guy Upstairs’.
