This Car Looks So Futuristic,

and is due to be ready for sale in 2024,


but what makes this car so different from so many other? renderings XPeng,

it flies! XPeng revealed the renderings of the unnamed electric flying vehicle at its annual 1024 Tech Day, where it showcases its latest innovations, the company plans to release its flying car by 2024 and according to TechCrunch it will retail it for less than than one million Chinese yuan, at today's rate £113,397.90 or $156,289.07, the road-capable flying car is being developed by the company's urban air mobility (UAM) affiliate HT Aero,

 the renderings suggest the vehicle will be equipped with a steering wheel for driving and a single lever for flight, the vehicle will include an environmental perception system that can evaluate the surroundings and weather conditions to make sure it can take-off and land safely at the desired destination, while it will be manually controlled, a perception and flight control algorithm will help the pilot to avoid obstacles during flight, the car would have both a steering wheel for driving and a lever for flying, now some bad news for the motorcar retail trade, Xpeng plans to sell the vehicle directly to consumers, 

the vehicle is an evolution of the company's previous two-seater flying car concept, the Traveler X2, also developed by HT Aero, "Our exploration of more efficient, safer, carbon-neutral mobility solutions goes far beyond just smart EVs, and is the cornerstone of our long-term competitive advantages," said XPeng CEO He Xiaopeng, "We strive to implement cutting-edge mobility technologies in mass-production models for the benefit of our customers." if this project takes off I wonder if you will need a pilots licence?
