We can now proudly say that flying car is one step closer to reality. A Slovakian company KleinVision gave us a first glimpse into this future mobility. It recently conducted maiden tests of its flying car, which is called the AirCar. This latest generation flying car can transform from a road vehicle into an air vehicle in under three minutes at the touch of a button. The company has been working to develop a flying car for 30 years now. According to the firm, the flying car will be useful for leisure and self-driving journeys, and even as a commercial taxi service.
