Alef Aeronautics Presents Flying Car at Detroit Auto Show 

A better demonstration would be to fly the car into the auto show room building. 👍🤩⭐🚙

It's a gigantic drone. They play music they don't want you to know how loud it is

Dude brought a proof-of-concept video to an auto show. 😂

Does it work though? Still no actual flight video.

Looks like a good video subject for Thunderf00t to cover: “Flying Car Busted!”

Needed to show the car actually flying, not a graphic video.

Well I was hoping to see this car fly. And to see what the interior looks like

This is cool. I’ve seen guys literally flying around in hammocks with drones, so this will eventually be a lot safer.

Hilariously, we’ve had wing electro/manifold thrust tech since the B2 bomber, and it works best at low speeds. Can it lift something on its own? Probably not, but with some propellers you can, even with this chassis. So, ya. There is I think 3 other companies doing similar things, but using no other air flow tech besides traditional drone blades. Its funny/sad but things will change soon.

It might happen someday, but this is definitely not it. I smell BS.

Sorry but I would rather keep the cars on the ground. We have enough people already driving crazy and hurting others now. I don't want cars doing more harm coming from the air too.

It's another personal electric quad copter. It's not really what you think of when someone says "flying car". Blade Runner, Cowboy Bebop, Star Wars, Fifth Element, those are the flying cars you think of when someone says "flying car", not an electric quadcopter that seats one person and can't really drive on a road.

For 200 miles of range, i would expect to see a large battery. But i don't see the battery... This seems like a dream

This looks like a flying mattress.

The problem with their ideas of flying cars is it they still create a great wind force below them which would be uncomfortable at the least and at the most could cause physical damage to pedestrians. Plus, if your car comes to a stop in midair it won't float. It can only fall.

Where is the power coming from? How do you turn if the wheels are in boxes? Where are the motors both for the wheels and props? Vaporware

Being that this car flies means that it's very lightweight. I'd like to see the crash ratings on... I highly doubt that this thing would do good in a car accident.

Look i have a brick that flys. But i can not show it flying today. But you can place an order if you like 🤔

I hope they succeed, but based on what I’ve seen to date, this going into production before 2035 is doubtful.

At least he was honest but hopefully they deliver, if I was preordering I would wait and see if they deliver their promises, I wish them luck

I think they need a better pitch man. Can you imagine unveiling an amazing flying car and having most people walk away when you were talking about it?

Nope , it needs to be level and stabilize better , also it has almost no lift power ..It's just a little bunch of drone's under the frame .

Very suitable for rushing into a building

How we're looking at an ugly early version of something that we'll perfect in the future 😢❤

In Detroit, watch it get stolen within the next 24 hours

I don't understand - is there something I'm missing? I just see this blue object but it's not flying. Why?

They're on their way to the stars😂

If you guys are wondering the cars revealed at 3:25

What if it breaks down in the air? Or can you imagine a flying car accident? Seems perfectly safe to me, good idea!

can't wait to see commercial drones with this design!

Can they make a small scale version ? Proof of concept

_Many are concerned about training the population how to fly these cars. This concern can be eliminated if they operate like drive by wire aka autopilot technology in a similar way of a tesla vehicle on autopilot. The computer will fly the vehicle not the passengers. The passengers will input an address and the computer will covert that into a coordinate and do the rest. Any malfunction will eject the safety parachute mechanism of the vehicle. Some accidents will still happen but it will still be much safer then the current way we travel with vehicles on the ground and people having personal control to drive them however they want._

I want a "Drone The Magic Carpet" like Aladdin..😂

The next Nikola motors ladies and gentlemen

Say fundamental one more time!!!!

This is awesome! Let's be real here though. What are we talking for MPG? Not to mention $PG???

Ok… im waiting to see it flying 😂😂

Blah blah blah... for years these people who said they make flying cars but just blah blah blah. If your going to reveal a real flying car then make it outside the building and make it really fly. I attended AutoMechanika in Germany about 23 years ago, and the first flying car got demo outside. Flew 5 feet up and travel 60 feet. They have the balls to show it. And frigging works. Then they did the Blah blah blah.

It's the Jetsons . Prove it can fly!

There is a youtuber from germany flying a bathtub, now thats impressive

No Flying ANYTHING HERE.. Just a model of a big DOME. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤪🤪🤪

but where to put the battery and the engine to drive at a decent speed on the road without cancelling their allowance to fly because of increase in weight, or making it unable to fly ?

Mass transit? “Highways in the sky” would f*up our skyways. A reason to say No to this.

What’s insurance company would cover it?

"15 minute" flight time.. (for those 15 minute cities.)

Where are the videos of the car actually flying

That’s a flying mattress deathbed

Literally can not find 1 video of it actually flying

Show! Very beautiful, well explained, but what about safety issues? And in case of total failure. How is flight safety, passengers and other people around?

I'll be tempted to get one once it's powered by element 115

Esse é evolution!

The Kleenex Box on a drone. good luck.

They need to first invest in a better, enthusiastic presenter!

The Homer in Blue

He had my investment with the video of the flying kleenex box. 🤣Now I don't have to reach across the room, it will fly to me!

Hope it will work, but reminds of another Nikola :)

wheres the video of it flying?

I did not say you could raise the price

imagine taking this to the car wash lolz

Why describe so much when we all know how drones work?

It looks like something out of a Godzilla, the old ones

Samson Sky Switchblade is the only flying car that interests me.

I'm sitting here trying to prove my point to my husband that flying cars are going to happen and he said BS !! So I'm sitting here trying to find my best proof video. And you guys show us a kite 😂 like one of those bubble machines that blow a flower bubble out and they cut it and floats aimlessly away in the wind 😂😂😂 It's never going to happen 😂 And my Husbands right 😂😂😂

Trust me...skip to 21:07 That's the best part!

So what happens if the flying car fails and crashes to the ground on another car or a pedestrian?

If it flies then it's not a car by Defenition.

Glad people have imaginations, but ready to see something actually flying, even in a fledgling state...

That video clip of the car flying looks very primitive with that jungle music

I don’t see much space for subwoofers….

Beautiful car ❤

I can fly without a car

Whoever made this car, who made it like how did they make the flying car?

Ladies and gentlemen I present to you the nothing burger.

The main problem is you only sit in this car other can't sit in this because only single sit not family car bigger size car can make easliy for family person

Interesting concept. A quad copter with a body and wheels.

This is not a Tesla electric car

im already dizzy just looking all this up ., so the driving ball rotates inside or do you drive upside down sideways ? and .just no ., no sideways with no tail ?? I . I understand the concept but tell mother momentum

Flying cars are long away to be a reality perhaps in 400 years.

xpeng was the first that actually flies

Unless it has a tiny fuel tank and is made out of bubble wrap and has a small enough wingspan can it be flown without a proper pilot's license. You need all those things to keep it an ultralight and fly without one. Max speed too. Like it can't go more than like 50 or something. Don't get me started on the free gimbling cabin. So no wings at all? So it will be like a helicopter engine-out without being a chopper? Isn't that just a rock? Tired of these investor honeypot schemes anyway.

Why didn't I see a flying car ? I see a car parked in that showroom 😢

Am I tripping. He looks like the character Ares from Next Gen

If these are quiet, they will be successful.

Way too expensive. WTF?

The way it flies is kinda weird.... wasn't expecting that

Not gonna happen without the 1.21 gigawatts 😏

Idk why this seems like a big scam xD Normally you show fhe car ok the road

I smell oceangate all over again

it is car looking drone, right.

No effing chance that thing is flying anywhere!! 😂😂😂😂

So it doesn't fly, we just imagine it does.

People have a hard time merging lanes with a car, now we're gonna ask them to fly around?

Imagine you're about to get pulled over by a cop, and now you have the option to just fly away lol

Spoiler alert. This company is going to be bankrupt in 6 months.

I didn't see it fly I saw something But it wasn't that

That has to be one of the coolest ones yet, but seeing how people drive on the freeways, this definitely needs to require a pilots license to fly.

Flying cars have been around since mid 90s in a lot of various forms and styles. Some could go 20 minutes and others 90 minutes. Some could fly and drive with various methods. Prices ranged from 150K to 500,000K Until prices by today's cost 2023 I mean ... to say would have to accomplish 175 miles in air travel and the ability to change a fueling/battery soure in 15 minutes to do another 17t miles and have to be able to drive on the ground from 75 to 100 miles in each energy source as well.. Be able to carry 4 passengers and language for passengers as a auto would today. And the price would have to be out the door at 75,000 or less to become accessible to the general public And eventually a price drop to 49K to reach a much larger population of people. I'm sure insurance would be 500 a month or more for general coverage 🤔 and 1K a month for full coverage. I am as sure as I can be the insurance company would require you to take a approved course by the insurance Institute of 40 hours of which 16 hours would be in air hours to limit their liability and prove you had the skills and I am just as certain the states within 2 years would require you to take a state approved test and issue a license of 100 dollars a year as its not public safety but their cash register hunger tills. Government never let's a possible tax escape from them and this would be a gold mine to them as well as license registration fees of 100 a year. 200 a pop at 1 million in any given state ..these now a magic 🎩 200 million a year and in time it goes up in fees and more millions of new driver pilots. 😊 new photography 📸 and video would go way up and people would go where they wanted including the beach and into private areas and love to invade other people's privacy. Government normally lags 5 to 15 years behind technology...but not when a gold mine exsists...2 years top before they jump in and say the magic words PUBLIC SAFETY demands it. So called PUBLIC SAFETY cost tax payers many extra Trillions of dollars....vs real nessary safety which would cost 85% less of the people's dollars 😊

Ok but like… why?

I been making my own flying cars for years now.

The only thing that is shown flying is a quadcopter shaped like a car. There was no actual car (something that could go along the ground) flying. Looks like pie in the sky for now.
