Twards the end f the 1985 sci-fi classic Back t the Future, the inventr Dc Brwn annunces “where we’re ging, we dn’t need rads as the car lifts int the air”. While flying cars aren’t yet filling ur skies, many are in develpment. In Octber the Chinese XPeng X2 successfully cmpleted the first public test flight f its tw-seater flying car in Dubai.
The XPeng X2 lifts vertically ff the grund using eight prpellers (螺旋桨), withut the need fr a runway, and is therefre suitable fr built-up city areas. The vehicle, designed t carry tw passengers, is fully electric and its makers say it can rise thrugh the air at arund tw meters per secnd and then reach speeds f up t 80 miles per hur. The XPeng X2 is equipped with AI autmatin — it can be set t self-drive. It learns hw t avid traffic, buildings and peple. It des nt prduce any carbn dixide emissins during flight and is a step frward in the pursuit f urban green transprtatin. It is suitable fr future lw-altitude city flights and is perfect fr shrt-distance city jurneys such as sightseeing and medical transprtatin.
Althugh the test flight lasted just 90 secnds, accrding t Dr. Liu, chief aviatin specialist at Xpeng Aerht, the technlgy is clse t being ready fr public use, but regulatins n flying cars are still sme way ff. Liu believes that peple will be able t use flying cars within limited regulated spaces in just five years. This lines up pretty well with the Chinese gvernment’s plan t put flying taxis n the market by 2025. The self-driving functin presents further difficulties with regulatin and als thrws int questin public acceptance. Many peple are wrried abut the safety issues arund self-driving cars n the grund, let alne vehicles that are flying arund abve their heads. Hwever, Peng says it is safer fr its flying car t be self-driving than t be driven by a human.
There are lts f flying cars in develpment nw arund the wrld and many f them actually fly, like Opener’s “BlackFly”, SkyDriver’s “SD-03’’and Klein Visin’s “AirCar” — which made a successful 35-minute test flight between tw cities in Slvakia in 2021.
