hi
Flying “cars”, of any type, are irresponsible AF. All the innocent people below you have no desire to have you fall out of the sky on to them.
It looks like a giant electrical deer
I thought we would use teleportation by 2020
😎😎😎
what is “Regulatory Red Tape”?
What is the backup plan if the power fails? Giant parachute for the copter? Are there redundant control systems if one fails? The space shuttle has five redundant flight computers.
It is helicopter isnt it
malaysia will have flying car next month… our new PH government and new prime minister mr. mahathir muhammad is so smart
So air traffic jams are gonna be a thing?
🤣 good luck with the birds getting on these things.
Drone Throne!
Is this electric ?
L0L This is just a drone and chopper combined
So, how much noise DID it make?
These are easy targets for domestic terrorism
I think a realistic solution for on demand urban air travel is at least five years away. What do you guys think?
Ok, you showed the eHang vehicle but you failed to mention how far ahead of everyone else they are. They have done multiple manned flights that went places, including via remote control using a command center style pilot station on the ground. I hate to go there, but; are they not white enough for you? Or has does the Trump twitter declaration bind you to not cover Chinese technology when its ahead?
Just cover them a bit more, their tech is so much closer to market.
Market!!!
It would make a nice eco friendly tourist helicopter replacing the noisy fuel guzzling ones now in use.
So what the difference between this and a helicopter
this is cool as long as they don’t land or crash on my head
1:19 — “…for you and me.”
Surely CNET has editors who know the difference between a subject pronoun and an object pronoun.
0:55 NOPE!!!
All it takes is for ONE bird to cause your death when they slam into a propeller.
They’re all UGLY except the BELL
Now imagine a Uber fare x 50+. Definitely not for the masses.
You aren’t going to be flying over any gridlock once these things gridlock the skies.
I just see it as future of airline industry
So.….. it’s a helicopter?
If
You really want to get in the air and out of ground rolling traffic
