A California-based startup has revealed plans to develop a flying car prototype, aiming to bring electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technology to the consumer market sooner than expected. The company, which has ties to the iconic DeLorean brand, has shared a video showcasing its vision for a futuristic vehicle combining road and air mobility. While traditional automakers like Tesla have also explored aerial mobility concepts, this project suggests a more immediate timeline for testing and potential production. The announcement highlights growing competition in the emerging electric aviation sector.
