Toyota, whose North American HQ is in Plano, took its eyes off the road long enough to scan the skies and invest $500 million more in California-based Joby, for a total of $894 million it's invested to date.

Joby and NASA's goal: evaluating how this next-gen traffic can be integrated into today’s airspace using existing air traffic control tools and procedures.
