No
matter how much we advance in technology, lengthening lifespans,
creating artificial organs, and plastering touchscreens of all sizes on
absolutely everything, it won’t feel quite like the “future” until we
can fly to work. That most basic element in depictions of the future,
the flying car, has been absent from reality, somehow leaving us
unconvinced of how far we’ve come.From Volkswagen,
and a young gaming design student from Chengdu city, we get a flying
car concept that fits not only our own desires for futurism, but also
the closest idea yet to something that will effectively introduce flight
into our daily routines.
The
car basically has a spherical shape with space for two people inside.
It has no wheel and floats a few inches above the ground. The image of
the car floating in the middle of the street, when other autos are
running on the road, is absolutely amazing. Circular glass discs have
been fitted on the two ends of the car and an elongated glass panel has
been fixed at the front. The glass and metal bubble looks utterly
stupendous.The
Volkswagen Hover Car is a pod-like zero-emissions vehicle that uses
electromagnetic road networks to float above the road. The small
Volkswagen has two seats and a joystick and, to demonstrate how the car
would work, a Chinese couple appears to put the flying car to the test
around the bustling streets of Chengdu. The two seem reluctant to climb
aboard at first, but once they lift-off, they seem to enjoy all the
attention the pod car gets.
