Yes, this is not the first "flying" car, not even the first flying car, presented in Geneva, but this is definitely the first vehicle-drone.

The essence of the idea to insanity is simple - the key element of the system is the passenger capsule, which can be attached to both the car base (wheels) and the drone with 8 propellers (all on electric). Accordingly, this vehicle can move both on the ground and through the air in a completely autonomous mode (without human intervention as a driver / pilot).

As planned by Airbus, you can order a capsule from your smartphone as a taxi, a special algorithm calculates a route that can be combined (by land and air), and takes you from point A to point B.

In addition, such a capsule can use to move and Hyperloop, that is, the creators of the project want to erase the boundaries between all available modes of transport.

What do you say, how do you like the future?
