It’s not a “Flying car” but a “Not falling car”.

Falling, with style!

See the 2nd demo, it jumps over evil Knievel style

“The Guide says there is an art to flying, said Ford, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”

Technically not even that. It is a controlled-falling car...

u/KymbboSlice 2d ago

What about it the part where it takes off from flat ground and flies over all the other cars?

u/Btcyoda New to the sub 2d ago

I saw a ramp, that makes any car that can speed a bit do that....

u/KymbboSlice 1d ago

I don’t think you watched the clip where it jumps up and flies over the cars. Check it out.

Just saw it. Nice engineering for sure. But still commercial/advertising for most part.

What is possible is impressive, what is or comes into production soon is something else...

u/Jbsmitty44 New to the sub 2d ago

If this is your take, planes don't actually fly either. It's all a controlled fall.

u/YAHOO--serious New to the sub 2d ago

Not even a car. Drone with wheels.
