From Sci-Fi to near-term reality, Flying cars!
It has been a dream since I was a kid to have and use a flying car in our advanced future. Well, maybe its becoming a reality. Enter...Airspeeder
Airspeeder
The worlds 1st flying car racing series! based upon eVTOL platform to provide not only zero emissions but are already proven sustainable and scalable base. Initially, Airspeeder is confining their model to racing as its controlled. Until it morphs into commercial applications. Racing allows lots of testing and success metrics and as you will read very rapid enhancements across the full development lifecycle.
Technology stack for Airspeeder
Dell and Intel technology are found through the entire technology stack resulting in a one-week iteration cycle. That is correct from design to testing!!! A massive turn around cycle.
Testing in the outback of Australia
Why out in the middle of nowhere? Dell and Intel are working on 'forcefields' to protect the flying cars from running into each other. The technology relies heavily upon AI of course. These tests will help for City flying and the required infrastructure layers to allow them to be successful!
Forcefields, what else are they dreaming up and making a reality?
Costs?
Since, the Airspeeder Mk4 is not a commercial craft, no pricing has been released. Thus it is NOT available for private purchases.
Integration of Blockchain or Crypto?
I was NOT able to locate anything talking about integration of Blockchain or Crypto into the flying cars. Perhaps one day the event logs could be stored on the blockchain for record keeping.
Summary
Flying cars is a 120-technology evolution from the first automobiles to now. It will change how humans move, live. Perhaps even where we choose to live. Did you envision how Airspeeder could change your life?
