Gaming with Mac in Apple M4 Processors
Playing Control and Wuthering Waves felt pretty smooth and fluid across each device, with the ray tracing on water and lighting looking especially impressive, even on a cartoony art-style like #WuWa. #gaming #macgaming #pcgaming #apple #wutheringwaves

If it’s a prototype the almost 30 years old Bell Aerosystems rocket pack showcased at the 1984 Olympics was more impressive.

They probably will hit that launch date, considering the prototype is already at that stage. Suzuki partnership is obviously gonna be about mass production of these thing, so production is already planned. Although i doubt these will be as common as normal cars cuz one: they’re pretty dangerous if there’s a lot of them in the sky, two: they’re pretty impractical cuz they take larger space, three: they’re pretty expensive, and four: we have better ways of avoiding congestion with things like public transport. But i also think this will have their own niche market. Mostly in the wealthy class for personal transport and air taxi. The air taxi is obviously gonna be more expensive than normal taxi but they’ll probably act more like small planes that land on hubs in and around the city that will connect with other form of transport like the metro and bus. While the personal transport for the wealthy is as it sounds, wealthier households can have landing pads while office buildings can have landing pads for the company’s flying cars. They will also probably be used heavily by companies to transport high value individuals in cities cuz every minute wasted on travel time between location will be unproductive for the company.

I’m confused because it’s not a flying car, it has no wheels once you land. It’s a personal quadcopter

See: why flying cars will never be a thing by Adam Something.
Also check out the not just bikes channel.
Tldr: if it wasn’t illegal to build duplexes and corner markets in suburbia, we wouldn’t have to travel as far, then we could build trolleys and everyone saves 10,000 per year. Picture Amsterdam.

There is enough bad drivers on the streets, picture what it’s going to like when they start flying.

I wonder how they will solve the issue with air traffic. You could in theory use sensors like on cars, to detect other vehicles and maintain distances. Same with the low charge issue – emergency warning and landing automatically? Many interesting issues to solve. One thing is creating a flying vehicle, the other is making it safe.

Yes, they will. We live in Japan and speak to SkyDrive execs regularly. The air traffic is no issue at all. They have already partnered with the government of Osaka, key companies and many others around the country. Autonomous will be no issue at all. I’m surprised it’s not up and running now.

Dule you only flying 1 hour not longdistance flying i think is a toy play only not ,also it a lot money how people low income how they buy it,the cost it should be low cost 30 to 40_Grand people can buy ,buy you taking about millions for flying car then you shut up your mouths, yeah that is my comment

The Evtol market will shift to “likely” when the issue of battery life and noise are solved to a degree where it has similar comparabilities to owning an actual car.. Until then flying “cars” are a dream and at most a hobby for flight enthusiasts. I’m not arguing.

why not just call them “eVTOLs” electronic vertical takeoffs and landers, and just leave out the whole “flying cars”

I appreciate the innovation, but this will never be more than a convention gimmick. Idiot people can’t even drive a ground car right, you gonna put them in a mobile blender? Right.

An EVTOL that flies with actual people in it. Thumbs up.

I don’t see how this is any different than a helicopter.
And it’s not a flying car until you can drive it on the ground and fly it. Otherwise, it’s just a helicopter with multiple props.
No way we will see this in 2025. We’ve been hearing that hype for decades. I don’t think we will ever see this as a consumer product in our lifetime.

Flying range 10km and flying time is 10 minutes. Is this worthed? It is not even distance of a city center to outside a big city.

Anything with rotors outside is a helicopter and anything with wings is an airplane. These inventors are confused. Had you seen the fifth element movie that Bruce Willis drive? Thats a flying car.
Probably in 100 years you’ll be able to.

certification will be tricky… Let’s compare it to a car just for a second…SkyDrive has eight swords spinning around extremely dangerous… Car has none… SkyDrive is very noisy… a car is quiet…SkyDrive cannot get anywhere near people simply too dangerous… A car can park in any parking lot. SkyDrive it’s impractical short range limited landing takeoff zone noise… That said it is really cool I would like to fly one but I don’t want to disturb anyone it has to be almost in the middle of nowhere…this world has enough noise pollution.
