World’s First Flying Car | XPeng X2 

True, if we wanted to call any flying vehicule a "car", then helicopters are already there.

And what do you want the difference to be?

We can have flying cars, they'd just be too loud

@@cedriceric9730 personally I would expect a flying car to have some car-like properties, like the ability to drive down a road.

that's the best practice for flying car actually, a practical solution for city airway transportation

You are right.!

That is why I had to start forex trading 2months ago and l now am making benefits from it.!

And I can even say she is the sincere broker I know....

Mrs Victoria is obviously the best

I invested $10,100 with her and she made profit of $53,000 for me just in 5days

This ain't no car, jack!

1951: whoa flying cars are invented!! Theyre called helicopter!!!

@@mrnorthz9373 well actually this would be a quadcopter...

@@phyl1283 if they use jets instead this will be real sci-fi flying cars finally. Hopefully the designers & engineers can work with the people making those jetpack suits in Dubai. They just had the first jetpack race in history a few days ago.

@@John-X i know. Helicopters were a thing in 1951.

Its a helicopter drone….not a car

Eh, about the same as a helicopter

@@Ben-fq1lj I don’t really care that it’s the same as a helicopter, I honestly think it just looks really cool

@@vectorphoenix5992 Worse. Way less efficient in terms of energy per weight. And cannot auto-rotate at all.

A monumental mess !

Lol

They electric prob not to loud

@@dusk1673 did y0u not watch the video of it starting up ?

@@dusk1673 even my dji mini pro 3 can be heard from a good distance

Keep imagining bc only the rich are going to have these

i think it would be quieter

@@thatguy363 ask Elon. Is a helicopter quiet?

@@Simple_Dave_Jr Who?

@Watcher 30 years? the tech already exist, these quads can detect thing and safely navigate without crashing and land or fly in perfect formations in autopilot, the future of flying pods will be automated.

@@Simple_Dave_Jr ask ur mom about my helicopter

those guys making the jetpacks need to work on these flying cars. i can see 4 jets all around, & maybe a few more underneath these new flying cars instead of propellers.

Yep imagine the repairs.

Imagine how many people can actually drive it.... 1. have money, 2. Can't be blind, 3. You probably have to pass some complicated bullshit flying test. The safety hazards alone this thing will cause. Don't forget 2000 for insurance a month.

@@OSU2010 I'm actually watching a video on a steam car! Get this a steam car is more safer and environmentally friendly then a electric car!!

@@OSU2010 And imagine you get hit by one of the propellers

I feel like everyone is blinded by the surface level flashiness of the futuristic concept and doesn't even think for the 2 seconds it takes to realize just how bad of an idea this is

That is point.

So true

Im not satisfy with there propellers its fail for me..

Yes, it needs cowling things on them. Very dangerous! For both passengers and the public.

What if the hole car lands in your head?

Unless your in a city or mountain lands, what are you possibly gonna crash into in open skies? I'd be more worried on how to land the thing.

Yeah it will be house accidents because this thing could fall on peoples houses if something goes wrong.

you are so funny . it was a good one...

Ron white didn’t come up with that

OR you can deploy safety features like you would an aircraft, which remember carries >95% accident survival rating. --science from REAL experts Also crashing and burning - that's only in movies

@Johnny it can work on 3 rotors, but it has 8 for redundancy and a bit more...they have said making it safe as it can be is number one priority otherwise it could seriously harm getting flying cars widespread...one accident could destroy so much progress.

For a second I thought you were going to say Ron Burgundy

Still waiting.

You getting a drone hybrid car and you’ll be happy

Btter we use jetson, most simple flying car

@@bobydown3749 too small and too short of flight time. They have years to do before it is air taxi quality. Air taxis will be the first things you see more than personal ownership unless you live in Dubai or UAE

@@robertchiarizia9463 Not possible, the noise pollution would be insane.

Or snow!😂

Absolutely. Or a storm!

They are probably quite safe. Just so you know, this is actually NOT the first flying car. Another Chinese company (I think it's EHang) has been operating a flying taxi in China for at least 2 years. However as far as I know, they still haven't got a licence to fly in the cites. So they only operate out in the countryside. But the point is, there have been no accidents yet. So maybe they are safer than they look. ( By the way, not sure if they are still in operation though because I wouldn't think too many people have used their service ).

@@ChinaSongsCollection So, you volunteer to take a ride in a thunderstorm? Be sure to get that on your cell phone.

@Kenton Kirkpatrick Well, I wouldn't even volunteer to take a ride in a good sunny day. Forget about stormy days. I was just trying to point out the fact that flying taxis have been in operation in China for quite some time. So presumably they are probably quite safe. But just because they seem quite safe, it doesn't mean you would trust them enough to try. As I said, I don't know if they are still in operation because I would assume not too many people would want to try.

😆

And add 4-wheels

😂😂😂

lol

you are right all talk talk but no fly ?check BMW

In the flying demo it looked liked no one was in it. I can also just imagine people accidentally walking into those propellers when spinning and the mess afterwards.

Said everyone about every technology before they got beyond prototype stage hahaha, they ain't makin toasters

It will never be.. imagine someone own it and forgot to do regular maintenance? Flying machine is complex beast, one part is fail, u basically have a flying coffin

@@_slier I have to agree. If your road car engine fails your car just stops. If the rotors stop turning on this flying car you fall like a rock..

We’ve arrived! The future is here 👍

@@VORZERO its a big drone, not anti gravity. the future you were shown is still far far away

@@possiblyinsane6995 yeah, I realised that after watching the whole thing, sadly.

Have you seen the Fifth Element with Bruce Willis? OMG , it was my favorite movie! Love them flying cars!!!!

Not impressed unless you can actually time travel when you hit 88 mph.

gonna end with الله أكبر

We will all be dead if that ever happens. It will be 100s of years from now if ever. They can not even keep up with the airplanes in the sky, how are they going to monitor vehicles. It will be balloons all over.

CAUTION: Beware of bots in this comment section.

I would have recommended it to be armored but then the weight will be too much eix

Do birds have accidents when they are flying and minding their business but happen to fly into another group of birds? Or do they have their own built-in sensors to avoid these kinds of collisions before they happen? 🤔 Well this vehicle should have the appropriate sensors available, but In case it doesn't, I'm willing to bet that the horrific noise made by the propellers is going to be enough for any bird to sense. This isn't going to be traveling at jet plane speeds. I'd say most helicopters could move quicker. Between the top speed and top noise it makes, I believe we can look at birds as being intelligent enough to look out for themselves in this kind of hazardous interaction. Parachutes? Marty, where we're going, we won't need parachutes.

What about people under you?

it come voice commands "Eject! Eject! " function, once you said the magic words, you will out of the car flying by your ownself 😂

You can fly over the traffic jams and finally arrive to work on time

yeaa, a very very very dangerous drone! OMG, did they not imagine that those propellers can turn human body into TOMATO SAUCE???

Yeah. Calling this a car is confusing at the best. What is the one significant thing about cars ... hmmm ... Wheels, maybe?

@@tadeasmarek1186 ikr 😅

Basically where they got the idea from.

On the video it is daid that it was a prototype and there are new models coming soon with wheels, so there's that. But yeah this prototype looks a lot like a drone

@@torrinashcraft5677 that thing never even came from the ground

Who’s gonna tell him that air traffic exists

8 billion cars in the sky and everyone dies

@@sew_gal7340 traffic can be layered in the sky

uhhhh it has wheels that it can use to drive? it can fly in the air? seems like a flying car to me...

🎯

It's just a prototype man. It's not the finished car. The real car will have wheels

Like Waterman's Arrowbile in 1937?

But you don't need wheel if you can fly. The only challenge is battery technology to last longer, lighter material.

My BIKE takes 5 hours to charge. You would need about 1,000 amps to charge that brick.in three hours.A plane cannot be electric. Gas provides 500 TIMES MORE ENERGY than a battery pound for pound. Its a POLITICAL STATEMENT for MORE TAXES< LOCKDOWNS and COMMUNISM. ENJOY YOUR FLIGHT into slavery

Do you know how far in the air you can travel in 35 minutes?

Only as far as you have to turn around and return to base ...so it's actually 10 minutes downrange and then you are bingo battery life and you have to turn around and hesd back to base ...because I promise you that you will want at least 5 minutes of battery if left when you get back to the landing zone in case something happens that you have to change plans for where you are going to land this thing..like weather or wind speeds ect

Battery is not a problem because Tesla will sell this company a long range battery. This is just a demo battery.

@@Gabeyre There is no suh thing as a long range battery. Batteries are based on content volume. Gas is 500 TIMEs per lb the power of a battery Batteries are POLITICS and TAXES and have no bearing on energy production

Imagine how much less space cars have to maneuver in. The first person to predict people were going to drive on very narrow lanes over 60mph for sometimes 4 hours straight would have been labelled as a madman.

Thats true tho and they must add control stick to move around instead of self flying mode

@@lordspectra7244 Yeah but ppl cant even drive without killing themselves. The risk and consequence is too much to be a everyday viable transport

@@lordspectra7244 Bruh ppl cant even drive straight on painted lines and flat roads. Good luck with flying control sticks

That's what people thought about cars going over 70mph legally also at one point. Too dangerous. But tech advances over time. We won't be grounded forever....

Safety features? LOL It literally has an off switch you can turn it off in the air and fall to your death 3:40

High tech safety features? That thing looks like a death machine lol

How appropriate that your avatar is Ben Grimm, a test pilot.

But, imagine having to take the test to be able to drive this.

​@@Andrew-zj8ybit flys its self no test needed

Ich bin recht sicher in 3 bis 4 Jahren sind Akkus verfügbar die gut für 1 bis 2 Stunden fliegen sind !!! Leider bin ich zu alt um es zu kaufen !!! In der BRD wird dann sowieso irgend eine Vorschrift, fliegen nur ganz wenigen möglich sein,!!!!!

i’m pretty sure regulators will have to produce set of standards based on accident rates and they’ll probably create some testing and rules you have to follow to get overall air accidents within acceptable range or safety levels. for example, like modern road car automatic safety braking if you get too close to another car but on steroids.

Don't stand next to it when its taking off 🤷 kinda like don't cross the street without looking both ways.

@@kien109 imagine getting chased by one of them

I was at a party ( in the 90's)next door to Opalocka airport in Miami and arrived 15 minutes after this poor guy had parked his bike and had walked too close to a cessna propellor; ripped his arm clean off...I heard he was suicidal for awhile... when they start mass- producing these, they need to put fan guards on these things.

They need to cover the blades

I am pretty sure they will have all sorts of sensors on them, when they detect someone is coming close, they should instantly stop. Just like modern sawblades, they automatically and instantly stop if your finger gets too close by accident.

Exactly.😂

I honestly think we will have flying cars and air lanes (and licenses needed for it) within next 10/20 years Hopefully within 10 years il be 49 then. I or atleast within our lifetime. Something like fith element

Good point. It amazes me how many negative comments there are about this vehicle, but no realization that it is an revolutionary step to another path. Even if there are flaws in the concept, that fact that it can fly while carrying passengers is already an impressive step.

O it looks like the car on blade runner 2049

@@jayjunior2023 only the top of the top are gonna own these things…they’re not letting regular pedestrians purchase and fly these like cars that’s not happening for a longggg time

Paul Moller & Moller Skycar m400 G-search it

a few decapitations & they will be grounded like Concorde

So turn it off when entering and exiting. Simple. Are you going to mess with electrical wiring without shutting off the power first?

And listen to the noise they make? Think again

You said it... "Love to watch". Don't know about getting in one tho. At least not at first, let others try it first, and second, and third, and so on. Maybe after many try it, maybe and that's a serious MAYBE, I'll eventually try it. I don't feel comfortable riding in a shuttle on land without a driver, to get one in the sky, you're gonna have to knock me out like Mr. T on the A-Team. "I pitty the fool", that tries to get me in one of those.

Definitely don't want to see large swarms of these in the future. God that'd be a menace

@@LaFragas more noisy than cars and highways? Get real

I can't imagine driving something without manual controls. If something goes wrong, what are you suppose to do?

What are you stupid. I’m not being smart I know you’re not stupid but think about it. Would you want to be walking out of a bar and somebody’s drunk and takes off. And there goes your head. Rolling down the ground down the road. And then he killed a couple other people on the way. And then goes home and his kids run out mommy daddy pop snap crackle there goes their heads rolling down the lawn. No thank you. This is a big mistake they don’t even have guards around the blades

@@hermanatorherrman9164 But its still a prototype am sure they will take care of those issues

Sounds exactly like a helicopter too. No practical use. We already have a helicopter for that. Unless they invented some sort of mchine that uses levitation. Not practicable as we already have helicopter

One bird and you are done.

@@dski8097 Or child walking into it

Cars driving is also an accident waiting to happen. Cars are way more dangerous as they actually often are close to pedestrians. This thing is up in the sky 99% of the time.

@@paulsmith9192 yep. How crappy people maintain their cars now? When pilots currently go up in a small plane, there is an elaborate checklist. I'm sure the people who always run late and zig zag through traffic now, will realize the error in their ways, and get up an hour earlier so they can incorporate a "pre-flight Checklist" into their daily routine....

@vix altaris monumentum monstrantum um, there is no wing. You would have to have a very large glider wing, much bigger than a normal glider, plus the flying car simply is not designed anything like a plane , with a slightly nose heavy axis, a tail, ailerons, etc. It just doesn't work that way at all. It will tumble out of control, more or less straight down.

Don't be flying over my street making that much noise.

Those vehicle are only safer as long as they don't leave your garage.

But what happens when you have traffic jams in the aaaiiir and you're running out of juice? ...everybody has to land? Well, back to the drawing board.

And where would you park

When it saves you an hour in traffic, you’ll think it’s more efficient for your lifestyle, unless you enjoy sitting on the highway in stop and go traffic. Maybe you do prefer that to just a 20 minute flight straight from work to home at the end of the day.

@Nabor Simbor lol folks can’t even drive on the ground… imagine these things falling out of the sky on your house cuz someone got air rage lol.

Changing lanes and merging blind spots like nuclear waste, solutions will be in place when the time comes.

@Nabor Simbor traffic in the air is three dimensionally not just a linear highway like on the ground.

They can have docking stations in many places where the pilot can land, and have an assistant quickly swap his flat battery for a pre-charged one. The assistant will take flat battery and charge it for pilot on return journey. Additionally, he could park flying car on roof of a high rise parking lot and charge on electric pod.

Это сколько шума будет в городе ! Теперь при аварии эти штуковины будут падать на головы людей ! Первыми этой штуковиной воспользуются террористы , напичкают взрывчаткой и прилетят в толпу людей !

From both a safety and mechanical engineering point of view, providing shrouds around the 'propellers' would mitigate the potential for injury to pedestrians, whilst providing more downward thrust, since the air would now be more concentrated by the enclosure. A bit like a jet engine but with the mechanism providing the thrust, oriented vertically, rather than horizontally, as per a jet.

Ma penso che questo prototipo possa volare solo su zone private. Ma basterebbe mettere una carrozzeria che inglobi le eliche per risolvere il problema...

Glimpse of the future. Hope a common man will afford to atleast rent one for a day!
