The Chinese investors must not ever leave their offices!! Chinese drivers are some of the worst on this planet!!! (And my Chinese wife agrees.)

Yeah, they need cars that can fly..... The accidents would be epic.

LoL, agreed, however its about the technology, if it’s feasible to actually get that thing into production.

ended up signing a strategic cooperation agreement with Baoneng Motor.

There goes the technology. Live and learn, Slovakia.

Nothing about the tech that matters.
Seems a typical scam “flying car”... well, no.

Because people who can't maneuver in two dimensions are going to do so well with three.

I knew the guy who made the first flying car in the 70’s, my neighbor on the airport flew it. When a potential customer called for a review he said “well it is a lousy airplane and a louse car!

I believe it requires pilot license, for now, at least

It is funny how often people think something is new.

they’ve been promising me flying cars for at least 50 years now, and it’s the damn Slovaks who are getting them first!

I like this one.

The Black Fly - somewhat autonomous in that it has a Back Home button like a lot of drones.

No it’s a “personal aviation vehicle”.

I’m wondering what you do with it after you land it in your field. Just let it sit there?

People must have been astonished at what they saw over the course of 40 years or so back then. Electricity and all manner of gadgets connected to it, cars, radio, movies and movies with sound, airplanes. Even TV was being pioneered back in the late 20’s. Breathtaking I bet.
