Traffic jams could soon be a thing of the past thanks to some innovative technology and a new partnership.
Italdesign just unveiled a new concept that it’s working on with Airbus — yes, the company that manufactures airplanes. But the concept isn’t just a run of the mill flying car, if that’s what you were thinking. It actually consists of a few different components.
First, there’s the passenger compartment of the vehicle. This is pretty standard. Then there’s a flying drone that can actually come and find your vehicle if you’re stuck in a traffic jam and literally pick up the passenger compartment off the ground, flying away like a helicopter. There’s also a bottom part of the vehicle that stays on the ground. That part has self-driving technology that would allow it to find its way to the nearest charging station.
Set Your Business Apart With an Innovative Approach
Your small business may never develop a flying car. However, even the smallest company can come up with an innovative approach to a problem — or a unique product that redefines a market. No matter what your business, think about how you can come up with the “flying car” in your industry. It will set you apart and help you define your brand in a totally unique way. And consider partnering with another business, if necessary, to pool your resources for innovation.

This looks so much like the cars of the future that we used to see on movies. But I don’t know if this can really be effective – won’t we have aerial traffic then?

I guess if the concept were to really take off then there would have to be some kind of regulations in that area. I would think that’s pretty far off though.
