If it can take off and land vertically, why would you want to drive it on the ground? A car makes a terrible airplane and an airplane makes a terrible car. A VTOL car that lands in a parking space is the actual meaning of “flying car.” It means NO DRIVING.
Ideally, you'd just be a passenger and computers would take over. That's not the biggest hurdle to overcome. The biggest hurdle, at least in my eyes, is what's powering something that's going to lift two people plus a car in the air?
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403This whole idea is a joke, this company is going to go bust no doubt. They will not get approval, the design, vehicle and concept itself is a joke. We need less cars, not flying cars FFS. They built an inefficient vehicle and are branding it to rich elitists to equate status, much like a cybertruck.
I am not believing a word of what this guy says until I see that thing actually move. They're not going to get a cent from investors with a report like this-- if that car could drive or fly, they would show the damn reporter!
The fact that people dont understand we already have flying cars. Shows that people dont know what a flying car actually is. They keep assuming ot should go from driving to flying but thats not really the case. In the Jetsons the ONLY time you see the car driving is when it lands or takes off. When they drive it its actually being flown.
I can see exactly how it would work...BRILLIANT, blades not exposed, and the swivel cockpit, to transit from vertical to horizontal flight. like a bi-plane, in horizontal flight...and best of all, fitting into a single car garage, (which most flying cars can't do) I have drawn 1000's of flying car concepts, being a former pilot, I do see how this design could be improved....a lot. Think.... ahead a few generations.
This is a scam to get investor money. The core design will not fly, those vents make very poor wings. "This is way safer", really and how would you know that when its never flown.
This is not going to work for private use, not in our lifetime, and not so much because of technology but because of regulation. it's not just the fact that drivers should be licenced as pilots too, but that regulation will not allow taking off or landing anywhere, so the apparent convenience of this vs an elicopter is questionable, especially as this will also have disadvantages vs an elicopter in terms of fuel quantity etc. (so only short trips). I can only see this as niche corpotate vehicoles talking off and landing as specific locations , for short distances and being able to drive when needed in certain places where you cannot land or take off.
The solution to what you're saying is simple: we wouldn't be driving/flying them, a computer would. Imagine a network of flying cars, all talking to each other. Now, of course, I can also imagine someone hacking into the system and getting thousands of flying cars to crash into each other, but let's just ignore that possibility! 😂😂😂 In a world where computers are flying us around, we wouldn't have to worry about us crashing. It's honestly the only way this could even be feasible.
The biggest issue I see with this ever becoming a reality is, what's going to power it. Lifting two people, plus the car itself in the air TAKES A TON OF ENERGY!!! Batteries simply don't have the density needed to make this feasible. You'd have to keep adding more batteries, which makes it heavier, requiring more batteries and you're caught in a vicious cycle. Either we find a way for batteries to hold 10 times the amount of energy they currently can or it's just not feasible. The other options are jet fuel and nuclear power. Honestly, jet fuel seems to most feasible. I mean, we already use it for helicopters. It's tech already being used. Nuclear clearly has enough power, but do we really want to deal with two flying cars powered by nuclear batteries crashing into each other? We need a major, MAJOR energy advancement before something like a flying car will be in everyone's garage. You basically need nuclear power without the issues that arise if two nuclear powered cars crash into each other.
If there were thousands, even millions different flying cars with different characteristics, wouldn't there be a major issue with vortices, coming off one craft and reacting with another craft in a negative way. Vortices can effect Helicopter when landing and other aircraft causing fatal accidents.
FAA restrictions will kill revenue. Not safer than a plane, there is zero lift if a lift fan goes out. Also the electronics and wire harnesses cannot be made just to auto standards, it must all be aerospace certified.
what if it is falling off sky or people privacy are in peril. flying car is being around ages., it will not go to happen. we have drone delivery goods bussiness model for 10 years now, yet its bussiness concept has never taken off for the same reason. overcrowding the sky put everyone at risk at the for profit and hobby of the greedy investors and their customers. $300,000 USD per flying car, most working class people cant afford for such expensive toy.
Less traffic when we all start flying? Probably more deaths more likely. Logistically, how do we all just start flying from different routes? Imagine a million personal planes going to work each day. We will get there but still a long way out from all of us having access to this technology.
That's a lot of "if"... Making the comparison that his "concept idea" is "way safer" than any traditional aircraft today is ridiculous. I need to see some statistics. On second thought, he is correct because this doesn't exist, 100% safer!
So far, it's just a ponitless box that can't fly yet and is taking longer to produce. Show evidence of it flying and what it can do. Otherwise your nothing but talk

Ugly design.. humans should develop a real flying car that uses an anti-gravity tech, it would result to very low fuel consumption. Using drone like propeller eats up all the batteries and the visual aesthetic looks awful.
This will be another Theranos .
To quote Neil deGrasse Tyson, "we already have flying cars, they're called helicopters."
thats not a car it can't drive on the roads. NDT isn't as smart or witty as he thinks he is
@@redbean9410I think that he was just highlighting the fact that we don’t need cars. Of course he knows that helicopter s are not cars.

That’s maybe the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard Neil degrasse Tyson say, which is saying a lot
if a startup can't make it happen in 10yrs, they almost never will
Most people can barely drive, let alone fly.

@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403True.. hopefully, with the help of AI we will get heavy energy densely batteries pretty soon.
New tech is expensive. Besides as you mentioned it will need pilot and central control.
I love their fund-raising capability

utter load of bollux journalism
Puff piece, not journalism.
Haven't found a single video of this thing actually flying. NEXT.....
They look like a 'fly by night' kind of operation 😅
One question they can never explain is where are they going to put the battery ?
Right???
😭
Or better yet. Where are they getting the batteries from?
In that smoll whewl 😅
We need a demo soon here, otherwise maybe a scam.

Those guys are either really bad at communicating or really bad engineers. I don’t think they understand what they are making 😂
Talk about missed opportunity. This should have been posted on April 1st. Would've made more sense 😅...

Any actual videos of this thing lifting off the ground???
I can see this a great way to travel! Mass produce to lower price, increase range and this could be amazing!
They never show this thing actually flying, or driving for that matter. And people think this actually works??!!
What about the effects of weather? High winds, downdraft’s, snow and ice. All of these have an effect of aircraft performance and safety.
Way to drop the Theranos name like a bucket of cold water on this fever dream project...
It actually works when you dreaming inside the car
How the 2 guys answered the lady's question and when he showed it flying sideways... screams sxxm 😂😂😂 this is not gonna work!
Great, now I have to deal with the DMV and the FAA
Forget it! The last thing we need is a guy leaving a bar and getting into a flying projectile after have a few drinks.
So it's a quadcopter that looks like a car?
Even if it could fly, it wouldn’t be a car. Three-wheelers are motorcycles. Read a book.

It may be technically possible,but people need to understand that creating vertical thrust is extremely inefficient energywise
So far, they've managed to develop an empty shell. Awesome!
My company is sueing me for this presentation, since the 'car' was never actually airborne!
They already have flying cars in china they just don’t have a “car” like guard cage. I think delivery started last month.
Flying cars would have saved Bin Laden from having to go through TSA
The CEO guy in the video is actually bin laden he had facial reconstructive surgery obviously
They couldn't even show it driving?
holy, this guy epitome of rubbing hand juice lmao.
I sew a different interview were he explains exactly how it will work.
I feel design wise, they trying to make it look like a car, even though it might make no sense to go this route.
I don’t think drones carrying people is too far off 👍🏼
300k, nothing inside but the air, no answer how it works, hand made in garage. Something that levitates people to the air is hand..made…
because they didnt show us how it can fly, that's why I don't trust it,im not sure if it's a joke or prank or something
Not that optimistic about this kind of product, especially if the business can't be scaled to a wider market
Flying cars? Will do anything but public transportation like MRT and high speed rail.
Pre orders for a "flying car" that you never seen fly for 8 years of development. How could people believe this scam?
It looks like the 60s bat mobile
no actual flying just theory
Why NOT a WHISPER AERO Fans ? ( 40 dB Noise !!!)
This POS will never pass a crash test. Then how will it fly in the winter when it's covered in snow and ice?
These guys don't inspire confidence. To me they sound like they don't really know how to make it work. 😅
They look like a bunch of kids tinkering with electronics.

Even if this thing would work (obviously it doesn't), driving on those "cool" wheelbarrow wheels is ridiculous.
This guy wouldn't go anywhere but only in his Worksop till the end. 🤷♂️

Funny design to hide fans in it
What a scammer lol
This guy sounds like Gru
This "car" will not drive down a road. Let alone fly. It looks like a kite.
So do you have to have a drivers license and an air license😂
So far, it's just a ponitless box that can't fly yet and is taking longer to produce. Show evidence of it flying and what it can do. Otherwise your nothing but talk
Olha o tipo do carro voador que apresentam kkkk
Com ventilador
Vamos se respeitar
The front kinda looks like a Tesla model 3 😂
This project is worth of money
just another zombicorn
😂😂😂
Cash grab ?!!!
China and Japan are ahead.
it's spelled ALEF, but pronounced THERANOS
This is another Con Job 😹. Are u guys kidding?
Im not seeing the stars he's reaching for.
Theranos 2.0
This will fail in a couple of years…smfh
It wont happen

Need underwater and naval capabilities also 🥱
