For all those wondering about piloting, the Japanese vehicle is mostly autonomous - from the Japanese Times: "The initial model will fly basically on auto pilot, but it’s not 100 percent autonomous because a pilot would need to manoeuvre it in case of an emergency, for example." Forgot to mention that.
The Korean guy that made something like (he is on SEworld seworld.info/will/bpvM0Ku9nK17unU/video ) that already flys way faster and higher and he is 1 dude. He has videos flying around a lake etc. What have the Japanese people been doing for 6 years with all those employees One guy should have hired the Korean guy and skipped the 6 years of development.
@LB Hey someone is being real here. (:
Unfortunately, electric passenger vehicles will never gain momentum using the current methods. Batteries are far to heavy to transport people or cargo at the speed or distance required by industry today. Battery research is not even close to a breakthrough of necessary significance. Even if batteries could be used they are not an energy source the electricity required for such an electric passenger vehicle industry would put tremendous demand on current infrastructure and power plants would burn much more fossil fuel and natural gas resulting in similar CO2 emissions as today. So no environmental benefits. Their is a solution to these problems that would quickly make electric flight the new norm while also solving the "green energy source" issue but strangely industry is not exploring this solution as much as they should. Give this comment a like if you want to know what the solution is.
As there will be increasing numbers of flying vehicles, have there been any recent advances in air traffic control for these vehicles? Thanks for all of your documentaries, I'm really enjoying them.
That's an important point and thus I think these are more than 5 years away now. :(
There is one big problem with air taxis, delivery drones, etc and we get a skyway type thing like in back to the future 2 if they unlike their ground base counterparts they fall out of the sky and in urban areas there are a lot of people down there. There is also the hacking problem, if I was a terrorist with hacking skills this would be my wet dream
We don't need these
The closed tin parenthetically gather because fireman jekely welcome pro a ugly raincoat. shiny, nebulous quince
I would like to hear more about overcoming VTOL efficiency issues! This is especially needed for concepts like Hyundai's urban airports that would often be on top of buildings! :D
Im ready for Blade Runner
The proud fork affectively inform because wire extragingivally knit abaft a splendid router. bloody, standing mistake
1:53 What is this bullshit?
They scaled up a drone
Using a diesel generator to charge an electric plane is pointless lol
All these electric charging stations, powetrd by..... Oil and gas
People will abuse this new dimension of travel to commit crimes. Landing on top of banks, etc.
A flying car doesn't have to have wheels. The ability to drive is not what makes it a flying car. The flying car is a car which flies instead of drives. Sure, literally you could put a helicopter system on a car and call it a flying car, but the concept as used in SciFi and popular depictions is a car which flies, but which can be as convenient as a normal car, with the same configuration of space, and which can land where you would normally park, thus it has to be the same size as a regular car - and it should need no special runway. Almost invariably it has been expected to use a mode of powering not invented yet. No matter how many wheels you put on that thing in the video, it is still JUST a helicopter and nothing but a helicopter.
Autonomous vehicles on the ground are required before ANY flying manned vehicles. IMHO
Thats not really an oppinon, thats just a must. Imagine the amount of drunk drivers crashing ontop of innocent families roofs and causing injuries or even death.
It will take many decades before we can use electric battery planes. 1 1/2 year ago one fall down in Norway. It is not safe to use them. www.tv2.no/a/10778842/
"Flying Cars", specifically commercially viable passenger-carrying electric quadcopters, will require solid-state batteries or other batteries with energy density better than currently available lithium-ion batteries.
many many years away...... should be used for light cargo to rural areas
it will take longer for them to come out cause FAA will see to it and mess it all up with stupid rules and laws
I don't think this will ever become commonplace for the average citizen. If your car fails and halts to a stop, the most that can happen is an accident, but as long as your brakes etc. are fine you're usually safe. If anything fails on a flying vehicle it can easily go down. You're working against gravity here. Maintenance is paramount. Not to mention the qualifications to pilot them. I can see taxi companies using it maybe, but not the average person
Aim.High.
Most drivers already have a hard time in 2D, adding another dimension doesn't sound like a good idea.
Well I deal with cars all done long whereby they fuel light is on they get brought to me to be fixed and run out of fuel , will be the same with planes only theyl be dropping out of the sky lol
"Adding wheels is easy." Not so easy is making something light enough to take off vertically meet crashworthiness standards. That difficulty should not be overlooked.
I don't think they will be a high impact tech, though it might, the future always holds some surprices, I'm more into the self driving vehicules and their spread around the world so I can avoid my drive license test. D:
A big dron . ELECTRICITY IS SO EXPENSIVE
If you can fly... Why drive it on road then?
Deszo has been building flying cars in his LA lab for many years seworld.info/will/j6mlp6eaZmBq32Q/video
And they are crudely effective! Motorcycle + Autogyro = Awesome. Like the previous generations of auto-car they do require a runway to take off but they can be road driven quite easily. If Deszo had a financier he'd be making history.
Imagine LA rush hour traffic - but everyone with flying cars - that should be great. If you thought crashes in 2 dimensions were cool, wait until you have 3 dimensions to work with and a guaranteed fall to earth in each case.
will there be any tesla in india in the future?
All of them are gonna keep trying to develop electric planes, and one day elon musk would surprise them by beating them to the market with a killer product.
why start straight with an electric flying car, lets start with an electric flying local bus or just a flying bus. they are bigger and have specified routes. so they will be easier to prove the concept
To some who look at the earliest days of powered flight, there was an even earlier proponent of a road-able airplane, and to some think it preceded the Wright brothers. The design of Gustave Whitehead's Number 21 aircraft was wheeled, when the Wrights were using skids and a rail to launch. Whitehead's monoplane design had folding wings and Tail, with a kingpost type wire rigging holding the wing level from above before take off,, and wires going down to hold them level in flight. Two of Whitehead built engines powered the craft, allowing for differential steering along with weight shift. The very simplest electric model aircraft use the differential steering technique today. I am not absolutely convinced of the 1901 flight written up in the local paper, and subsequently reprinted in Scientific American before the Wrights triumph at Kitty Hawk, but there was a lot of claims in the same era that were even less well documented. Though Whitehead was almost as well known an engine builder as Glenn Curtiss was, and a copy of his design has been shown to fly by the Germans from the region where he was born before emigrated to America, U.S. history has not been kind to him or to Californian John Montgomery who built gliders as good as the Wrights did. I credit the Wrights with a better control system in turns, but I think that Whitehead would be in the history books if he had been able to turn as well. Folding wings, four wheels, It was a flying car design from its beginning. Did it fly first, we have no photographic proof, and the Wrights have just the one, plus the Coast Guard observers word. Whitehead had a newspaper editor's word for it, in an age like our own where the more outrageous the claim the more news it sold to the wire services. History is written by the winners and in some cases lawsuits determine who wins in the end.
What about the following questions: 1. What about the sound of those things? How loud will they be? Now imagine hundreds of them (thousands?) flying around? Why are there no videos (at least I can not find any) with actual SOUND available? 2. Air Taxis will not bring any benefit to the ground traffic as many suggest: You would need thousands and thousands in the air to decrease ground traffic significantly. Am I missing a point? 3. Many of the suggested air Taxis need some 50-100 m² free space to land. Where do you get this in cities? Where do you get this for hundreds of air taxis? And MOST OF ALL: 4. I doubt that the battery technology available now allows for the specs companies like Lilium are promising. 300 km range at 300 km/h? With something that weighs in at around half a ton? I fail to see a battery solution that would allow this stunt. I have looked around, but I can not find any answers to those critical questions.
Nuh sorry But Philippines have manananggal
Flying car? More like a mini airplane or helicopter
"Flying cars" won't happen in the sense of personal flying vehicles. The traffic control implications are mind-boggling and there are no "fender benders" in the air. This is the problem with air taxis, too. Uber has *increased* city traffic. Uber air-taxis, if vaguely affordable, would create an air control nightmare for the same reason, I surmise.
I am very interested abt battery and wireless charging in the future. I heard abt a pilot project that China is undertaking now where they are developing in where they use wireless charging ports lining strategical location to wireless charge electric cars as they travel along the stretch of street. I don't know it is true. If it uis true den whoever create that technology wld b the pioneer in that technology and way to go. Maybe the car will b charged wireless through a unique account by the power supplier and charge accordingly like our electricity bill monthly. Then we won't have to worry abt pulling up to gas station throughout the journey from lets say San Francisco to LA, becoz our electric car wld be charged wirlessly throughout the stretch that we travel from SF to LA n we don't even hv to worry abt charging our electric car wen we reach LA late at night to look for charging station. Is that the reason also the reason that China has already set a date in the v near future to ban d selling of new gas power cars in China in d v neary future? US shld not let China win this this technology field bcoz it means mega business so if US hasn't start this project, they better do. Can U kindly do a documentarty of this technology?
Safety though?
Imagine seeing traffic above your house
The flying vehicle of the future has not come about just yet, because I have not shown my idea of it. All these flying vehicle are having a hard time achieving success, because they are using old ways of thinking. I can’t wait to start, (in about 8 years from now.) the technology I will be using does already exist, but has not been used in the context in which I will be using this technology. One day, my flying vehicle will be soaring the skies.
We already have flying buses We call it airplane
Flying Plane-Cars of the near-Future, Hope so...🙂
man, cover the mini jets !
That's what's real
This is still far off. Im sorry but topping off in an hour? That’s not convenient considering that I can go and get gas in 15 minutes. It has to get to that point. Also the fact that we are still using air and not magnets to fly or whatever aliens use....I know we don’t know what those tictacs were but they exist and we have them on film so that kind of flying exists. This still looks so old school....it’s too clunky. It needs to be like a car and this isn’t it. Maybe for someone who already owns helicopters.
As far as the tech goes, 5-10 years is not an unreasonable timeframe. As for the regulatory, admin, bureaucratic, and legal aspects, well, they can take *years*.
FAA rubbing their hands, well well well, what do we have here.
whydo you need wheels when it flys
This channel is a gem❤️
0:58 omfg you can see how slow he has to rise and how incredibly unstable it is, look at how many microadjusatments he's having to make lol, we don't want a flying car... we want a private aircarrier.
Less cars. More public transport. Ez life.
Imagine the licensing for drivers
working in the car industry and involved with electric mobility, I can't wait to see the development of those technologies. Graphene is surely the development I'm waiting for the most for now but seeing flying vehicles and the future of mobility, stays extremely exciting. When you just see what DJI achieved with its drones within the last 5 years, we can be very confident to see amazing evolution in autonomous and very precise human flying solutions in less than a decade. THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR EXCELLENT CONTENT!!!!
No universal charging standard? This is phone charging conundrum of the 2000s all over again. I doubt it will be long until we have it solved though.
Elon Musk gives an interesting opinion on the subject of flying cars. Looks like it’s something which will not be reality anytime soon.
Add value where the land is small like Asia . What ?? have they looked at a world map ?? In case they don't . Ill help em out . I'ts the biggest landmass on the map / globe.
I can't wait to see the new Porsche Air Turbo Prop Targa . lol
This is a lazy ass video if you you keep up with tech nothing new here
I'm just curious how flying lanes are going to be managed. Will we be able to just cross into whatever territory? Or maybe we'll have built in sensors that warn us when we're close to private property? Because takeoff could be very risky if other flyers get into our fly zone; would there be collisions? I think driverless cars will be a thing well before we decide to hand over a flyer's license to just anyone. Think of the money invested in those cars, and the modified roads for them over the next few decades. Now, where do flying cars fit into this equation?
Without the battery problem of energy density being solved, or legit fuel cell tech, this ain't going anywhere. It's been stagnant for years
Even IF you can make a viable product, there is the question of what the hell the use case is. You are not going to need one of these going to the grocery store. You will book a flight on a traditional airline for long distance travel. And air taxies are already in place with helicopters. All this will do is either make traditional flight cleaner and cheaper. Personal aircraft won't ever be a thing.
The problem of inequality still unsolved. But we can now fly above them, don’t have to deal with their problems or see their faces. This future is mind bugging, we really don’t give an a about one another. Fuck individual technology, we live in a mutual ever complementary world.
This is great. Fixed all the crap at the electric cars and make it better.
Ive seen how people drive cars with just wheels. Flying cars will be a public disaster at mass scale
I think piloting/control of these vehicles is the bigger barrier to entry, which you didn't touch on in the video. For widespread adoption, the general public needs to be able to control these safely with little training. For a normal car, it's doable. Most people can understand the physical mechanics of driving a vehicle. When you go airborne and start flying, there are many more variables that need to be considered, such as three dimensional movement and flight physics. A level of complexity is introduced that would make training more expensive and time consuming than the typical person will put up with, and even if you could train everyone to fly, it's still inherently more accident-prone than driving. Add in other people in flying cars that you need to avoid and there is potential for catastrophic collisions. In my opinion, the main reason flying cars haven't been viable yet is because they are simply too dangerous for the general public to use. The reason they are becoming viable now is because of advancing AI technology. If flight control, like driving, can be completely automated, this eliminates the problems of training time, controlling in unexpected weather situations, and awareness of obstacles in flight. Flying cars could use an AI network to communicate with each other and track the location of other vehicles, so you'd never collide with another car. The most effective solution will probably have you simply tell the car where you want to go, and it automatically carries you there without further input.
Whenever I see news or video about flying cars .. I remember the scene from movie “The Fifth Element” showing futuristic city with flying cars ..
I don't believe it will commercialize for common people
30 years and 1% will fly with "cars" than the mortal will follow
Israelí company ??? Basically stolen land and materials from the Palestinians
when it starts taking off. Jacques Fresco had all these ideas with a RBE and zeitgeist
Brilliant video Cold Fusion
The propellers on a small remote controlled drone are quite noisy. I imagine that when scaled up to size of a flying car, these vehicles will be super loud. I think that the noise pollution might be a problem that will need to be solved.
Flying bikes are more realistic.
Where do you think all of that electricity is coming from?
There are alot of idiots on the road , if you want flying car's , they need to be 100% idiot proof.
Thats not a flying car thats a helicopter on wheels
Just use the regular plug point with all the circuitry onboard. Simple.
Why wud I even use the road if I can fly? Why do people care about the car part?
Cars - need weight for downforce. Aeroplane - need to be lightweight.
In 2030: Taxi, Could you please fly over my hedge? It needs a cut. Thanks Driver!
we still can't figure out elevators and vending machines till this day. we won't be getting flying cars anytime soon..
we won't go anywhere until we find a new source of energy that are ready for commercial use
This was supposed to be about 'flying cars' but instead it is about 'electric aircraft'; The question is where these large passenger carrying drones will be allowed to fly & land.. not too many places so it's not much better than cheap small cheap helicopters-which have been around since the 70's. Electric aircraft are like electric cars: they are toys->widespread use is totally unrealistic because instead of having a few fixed locations where a car can drive-in refuel in a few minutes and then allow the next car to drive thru; Instead there has to be a charger on every parking spot.. other wise they are only realistic for people who live in their own house (with garage so you can park and recharge) and it has to be a second car because if heaven forbid that you actually have to use your car all day, driving to and from multiple locations, on a hot day with aircon, the electric car will always leave you FORD(found on road dead) so you always have to have a real car to back-it-up.
👍
Personal electric aircraft will be as easily acquired as conventional fuel aircraft. Only the rich and pretentious can afford them.
Laputa
Release the AntiGrav...
Flying cars just aren't practical until we invent anti-gravity.
Turkey flying car is most successful recent time ...
i might be crazy but i feel like im the only one who genuinely doesn't want flying cars.
I don't think this is the way the trend will go. Another way to beat gravity apart from conventional propulsion will be the way.
I guess it will take 20 years or longer, how can we be so sure that a consumer will have a fly experience in such short amount of time, not the mention the high price of $400.000
Flying cars are inherently less efficient than normal cars, that‘s whey they‘ll never be more than a plaything for millionaires.
This is stupid.
A Flying drone that u can ride in is cool... Why add shitty car parts to it...
Yeah let's use the Chinese standard where you casually plug and pull a 1000Volt charger.
impossible to have flying cars for individuals in the next 100 years, we cant drive on roads when traffic hits, can you imagine idiots flying? but in 10 years I'll be able to go to London from manchester in an uber flying taxi for sure.
So it's the data cable adapter problem all over again... Call the USB peeps!
Just get a plane and add wheels
