Nec Unveils First Flying Car Prototype In Japan by chily11: 2:42pm On Aug 06, 2019
It's like "Back to the Future," but real: a prototype of a flying car hovered 10 feet above the ground for about a minute in Japan on Monday.

Designed for autonomous delivery flights, the early prototype looks more like a large drone than a typical car. Made by NEC, a global technology company based in Tokyo, it's battery-powered with four propellers and designed for self-flying deliveries. According to news reports, the vehicle hovered about 10 feet off the ground inside a cage without passengers at a company facility in Abiko, Japan, a Tokyo suburb.

"We at NEC believe that a revolution of travel centred on flying cars will occur," NEC Corporation Vice President Norihiko Ishiguro told the Associated Press. "When that time comes, we want to provide technology and services as a management base."
