Could the day when we no longer have to waste time stuck in heavy traffic really be just around the corner?
A new means of transportation utilizing the skies is drawing attention.
A large aircraft resembling a drone gently lifts off into the air accompanied by the sound of propellers.
A test flight of a single-seat electric flying car took place in Uttarakhand, India.
The aircraft was developed by a young Indian entrepreneur, and it is reportedly an autonomous flight prototype built based on existing drone technology to accommodate a single passenger.
Traveling a distance of about 40 kilometers by car in his mountainous hometown used to take an hour and a half, but using this aircraft, the trip can be made in just 10 minutes.
Although there are still many challenges to overcome before commercialization, it is gathering expectations for significantly helping with emergency rescue in mountainous regions and easing traffic congestion.
An everyday life where we freely roam the skies instead of congested roads might not be too far off in the future.
