Remember that time when we just dreamed that there will be flying cars in the future? That future is nearer than ever now, as the Japanese tech company NEC tests this flying car prototype, which looks like a humongous drone.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
The prototype flying car measures in at 3.9 m (12.8 ft) L x 3.7 m (12.1 ft) W x 1.3 m (4.26 ft) H, which makes it one of the biggest quadrotors I’ve ever seen. In addition to testing out the hardware for the car drone, NEC is working on autonomous flight technology for the aircraft.
The prototype currently hovers only about 10 feet above the ground, and is being tested on a tether for safety purposes. The video below shows off a test of the vehicle, which is at once impressive and terrifying:
It would be awful, however, if any part of your body touches the giant rotors. But hey, this is just a prototype, and the design would probably improve.
