Even your car can fly with the latest XPeng drone
There are many projects involving taxi drones, increasingly similar to cars, capable of crossing cities from one side to the other in a hypothetical future. But these are specific vehicles, alternatives to cars. New purchases for a few rich. If instead it were your car, the one you already have, to move in flight when necessary from one point to another?
Chinese technology company XPeng mounted a drone on the roof of a vehicle and called it a flying car. This vehicle, although not elegant and still uncertain, has really flown, as you can see from the video below
Unlike many other "flying cars" we've seen before, this one really looks like a normal car. But unlike most regular cars, this one appears to have a drone that can take it around quickly. And XPeng really succeeded, despite the challenge being huge, if only for weight balance issues.
One could speculate that there is an easy and quick release to separate the car from the drone so that you can maneuver around city streets. And if there were to be its effective commercial diffusion, there will be a balancing problem to compensate, because each car has its own different weight, with a different distribution. However, it is a really interesting undertaking, and one that may have a longer future than many specially built taxis.
