The future is here… ALREADY. A fully electric flying car that’ll cost about $300,000 just won approval to start testing on the road – and in the air! Find out more after the jump!
Alef Aeronautics, a Californian automaker, said in a press release it had received a Special Airworthiness Certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the Model A.
It’s the first such approval for a flight-capable car, according to the startup, which has been backed by the likes of SpaceX.
Alef CEO Jim Dukhovny said: “It allows us to move closer to bringing people an environmentally friendly and faster commute, saving individuals and companies hours each week. This is one small step for planes, one giant step for cars.”
The company aimed to produce the first flying car with both street driving and vertical take-off capabilities. It’s designed to fit within existing urban infrastructure for driving and parking.
When I say we dystopia came wayyy faster than we expected, I mean it! Is this how we’re gonna die? In an air car accident!? SHIT. One more thing to worry about thanks to the support of boy genius Elon! I can’t even open the door to a Tesla much less fly a car!
