I’m very curious how this thing can fly 110 miles, considering that it has to keep it’s batteries suspended in the air with it, and the energy density (by weight) of batteries is on the order of 5% of gasoline.

Perhaps they have a way, but I cannot see it!

I’d like to see how the drivers of these “flying cars” plan to fly through Class B airspace over Los Angeles (and every other large city in the U.S.) I think AT Control may have a problem with this.

"...which can seat up to two people..."

Is that a fact?

That’ll be great when you come to a toll booth. Just fly over it and wave to the attendants.

Will they let anyone with a drivers license fly this?

When your battery dies, your aircraft could fall on someone’s house or a playground full of kids.

From what I have witnessed on the highways, this cannot be something anyone can buy and use. There are a lot of lunatics and careless drivers with drivers licenses.

When they crash there is going to be one heck of a lithium explosion.

And if you can’t find a parking place, you can tie it to a lamp post and leave it running.

Is it true the company has an order from Charles Lindbergh IV for one? Gonna call it the Spirit of San Francisco? Going to fly to Paris, if there is a Paris when the plane is ready?

How high can it fly? What makes it fly? I’ll believe it when I see one flying overhead on the highway and not a minute before.

The fully-electric vehicle is a low-speed vehicle that can be driven up to 200 miles on public roads and fits into a regular garage, but it can also launch vertically into the air with a flying range of 110 miles

Those numbers are suspect.

...a flying range of 110 miles,

Round trip to Piggly Wiggly. Will a breathalyzer test be involved?
