Flying Cars Are No Longer Just A Figment Of Our Imagination

Isn’t it funny when you’re reading books from a hundred years ago or watching movies from the past century that portray what the future holds? Well, their future is now and unfortunately we are no closer to their predictions than they were. Sure, we’re launching rockets into outer space, but we probably have a few centuries of trials and tribulations to go until we manage to reach warp speed (sorry, Trekkies).

Fortunately for us, our dream of flying a car is soon becoming a reality. We present you the PAL-V ‘flying car’ and it does exactly what it says it does. It was constructed by a Dutch company as a car which can easily transform into an aircraft. It can only host two passengers. The transition from one vehicle to the other takes about 5-10 minutes and you would need both a driving and a flying permit. The car is set to be released in 2019 and the preordering has already started. The cheaper model starts at $399,000 while another one costs $599,000.

Having a device that can both roll on the road and soar in the sky definitely has its convenient side. It would make transportation faster since you won’t be needing to change from tires to wings any time you reach a barrier. It also paves the way to developing this kind of technology that can benefit society in the long run. Sure, it’s nowhere nearly as cool as cars floating on thrusters, but we’re getting there. What do you think? Would you like to own this kind of vehicle? Would you even consider getting into one? Tell us more of what you think in the comments down below.
