Flying Car
Electric aircraft with vertical takeoff and landing capability, regarded as a vehicle for future urban air mobility. Because of long cycles in technology development, regulation and capital consumption, flying cars are often cited as a promise-driven sector whose ability to deliver is questioned during earnings seasons.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Flying cars and robotics are once again being promised, but the original text expresses vigilance toward repeated narratives.
Aircraft have far higher battery safety requirements than ground vehicles: once thermal runaway causes a fire, there is almost no escape window in the air, requiring additional fire isolation, pressure relief, and redundant power supply designs.
The real-world difficulties facing flying cars include energy and range, regulations and airspace management, safety redundancy, and cost, among others.
