PARIS —Next year Paris will test a futuristic, prototype water taxi that will allow people glide along the Seine River, two feet above the water. <br /> <br />The vessel, named Sea Bubble, can travel up to 30 kilometers per hour and can seat five people including a driver. According to the Telegraph, the vessel’s chassis will be made of fiberglass and high density foam. <br /> <br />Sea Bubble will also reportedly have a hydrofoil attached to its hull that will reduce drag and help it ‘fly’ just above the water, reported the Telegraph. <br /> <br />The developers also hope that Sea Bubble vessels could eventually be ordered through vehicle-hailing apps like Uber. If successful in France, they also hope to use Sea Bubble vessels in waterways in other cities such as London, Geneva and elsewhere.
