Flying cars are real, and Airbus is making them this year

If there’s one thing that the year 2000 and beyond really let us down on it’s the unfulfilled promise of flying cars. Sure, there are airplanes that can be driven on city streets, but they’re not exactly commonplace, and definitely not as impressive as what 80s sci-fi movies had led us to believe. Now Airbus, one of the biggest aviation brands on the planet, is promising to do its part to clear up traffic congestion with autonomous flying taxis, and it plans on having a working prototype flying high by the end of this year.
Airbus CEO Tom Enders announced the company’s plans to continue development within its Urban Air Mobility division of a single-person autonomous flying vehicle at a recent tech conference in Germany. “We are in an experimentation phase, we take this development very seriously,” Enders said. “One hundred years ago, urban transport went underground, now we have the technological wherewithal to go above ground.”
