VW Group China, the East Asian subsidiary of German Volkswagen, recently unveiled the first electric vertical take-off and landing drone prototype, named V.MO. The flying car is planned to carry 4 passengers, which would avoid the morning rush hour.
The company has decided to accelerate software development and local research and development to bring the flying cars to commercial production in the next few years. At 11 metres in length, the aircraft can travel about 200 km on a single charge in the air.
Final plans include a four-passenger cabin and a vision of self-driving software, which would mean passengers would not even need a pilot's licence.
