Sky Drive Inc. conducted the public demonstration on August 25, the company said in a news release, at the Toyota Test Field, one of the largest in Japan and home to the car company's development base. It was the first public demonstration for a flying car in Japanese history. The car, named SD-03, manned with a pilot, took off and circled the field for about four minutes.
" Read MoreThe SD-03 is the world's smallest electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicle and takes up the space of about two parked cars, according to the company. It has eight motors to ensure"safety in emergency situations." "In designing an unexplored, new genre of transportation known as the flying car, we chose the keyword"progressive" for inspiration," Design Director Takumi Yamamot said.
Porque estão chamando o 'novo' meio de transporte áereo de asa rotativa de 'carro voador' e não simplesmente 'helicóptero' ou 'helicóptero elétrico'? Virou carro só porque passou a ter mais hélices e se assemelhar com drones?
Please scientists we need to start using more atum the lesser part of it for the future vehicle's OK air craft jet and rocket all that what or you people waiting on this us one of the thing ho hate that am from Jamaica where there is less opportunity to do thing like these atum.
We're doing it!
LOL, I can envision it - all those thousands of flying cars crisscrossing through the sky, narrowly evading collision, like in the sci-fi movies. What keeps them in a safe path?
uesugitakashi Do we need to take a special driver license for it?
To everybody saying this is just a helicopter. Basic physics would tell you that those cartoon cars with jets, or men in black cars are not happening. There are certain things needed for something to fly and your favorite truck, suv, or sports car is not going to cut it.
phantomXsly na Japan be papa of tech.
whats the point of trying to beat gravity. there.s too many DENSE people driving cars dangerously already.

Saw it on news . Congratulations to the Japanese
I’d rather program it and let it be take me to my destination kind of like GPS navigation. How about a mass transit flying machine to cut down on local in town traffic. Airplanes do longer distances but local might lighten congestion and potholes.
erinhale Oh dear Can I put an order?
Joe Biden Remains Ineligible. He Represents The Hypocrisy Of The Establishment. The Politically Correct Whited Sepulchres And Plaster Saint's Messenger Sent To Destroy America. I Stand With Donald J. Trump.
I’m out here using wheels like a sucker 😩
Flying cars will fill the sky and more collision happen and beware walking people may fall on your head.
Well good thing otherwise they’d feel really stupid about naming their company that.
ITS A PLANE! ✈️ (3rd time seeing this.)
The Jetsons. I knew I'd live to see it
I bet it's loud as hell.
Greta: How Dare You!
Uhhh, minor fender-benders wouldn't go over very well - way up there in the sky.
Why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly
We, as a species haven’t proven ourselves capable on the ground in cars to take on another dimension to drive to Taco Bell
Welp this is embarrassing for elonmusk.
Very beautyfull
These stuff scare me, if this becomes a success and many people start owning them. I see chaos on top of our heads
That's a helicopter
I wonder how many DUI’s cops will let each other get away with in flying cars? If cops in my city let each other go on DUI’s and I get one, is that discrimination? Asking for a friend....
A bit fiery
“Manned with a pilot” *stares in Amelia Earhart* You could have just said “piloted”.
Calling this a flying car is like saying Biden is mentally fit for POTUS. 😂
How much is insurance?
That car was shaking in the air🤣🤣🤣didn't look safe AT ALL
flying... car.. imagination becoming true.. so air traffic increase in near future
Should I call him a driver or a pilot?
If it flies, it's NOT a car
So where do you put your groceries 🤣
That is not a car.
I certainly shall buy one, if it is produced in my lifetime!
This car is crap . Not great . Can't fly the car in heavy winds . Battery life on it is around a hour then you fall out from the sky to your death .
MbuyiseniNdlozi I ain't surprised ,this year anything is possible 🤷
Yes. Because humanity has shown themselves to be mature and responsible drivers over the last century.
BUT will it come in pink with a Hello Kitty wrap? And when I scoot -scoot will endless bubbles blow out the back
ClaudioXGG Cuiden el bacacho 😅🤣😂😅🤣😂
Bout damn time.
It's a mini plane.
Produksinya (komersialisasinya) dimulai tahun 2030, 10 tahun lagi pa LaodeMSyarif ibarat di Indonesia 2 x Renstra 😁
Yet the fake news is busy destroying America.
MabenaKatlego This is awesome
It’s literally a helicopter
MbuyiseniNdlozi WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
'Car'? It appears to sit on skids.
Imagine a million flying cars on your daily commute
They been experimenting since Dragon Ball Z
MbuyiseniNdlozi No more drive by shooting
JAPAN BEST INNOVATIVE
AchuNadia Malaysia dah ade lah.. Belom test drive je lagi.. Dah tuko gov.. Pastu dia pon diam je..
Well that's not really true is it?
Japan is awesome. They keep moving forward!
Old news folks!
'Meet George jetson'
This will never happen, have you driven a car in the last 24 hours ? If you have , likely you witnessed idiots who have Zero business behind a a wheel let alone a cockpit
God I hope they don't sell them to any women.
Mad o
The future we all wished for in 2020!
Can you just make vaccines instead man. Well do the whole 'flying cars' later.
Where is the real news in America? This is a symptom and evidence of unethical journalism. The equivalent of uttering “ummmm” during a sentence because of a complete reluctance to report the news without an extreme bias. Propagandist pause, filler, and fluff news.
Does anyone wonder why there is so much positive in Japan?
NuNuRoxOfficial
I hope with 1,000 daily contribution I will be able to get one once it on commercial sale?
There have been flying drones large enough to carry people--plural--years ago.
👏👏👏
It’ll never work in the states everyone is obese.
🙂
Wow! That’s amazing!
I would be excited but people can't even drive properly on the roads yet
Well those aren't going to be allowed with blades spinning at waist height. It's a multirotor helicopter, if it's going to earn the 'car' label it will need to be safe to be around and simple to operate. This will be fun for one or two billionaires to play with on their estates
landomics 😆 are you thinking what I'm thinking
Sadly, we would have no chance of developing the infrastructure to support this in the US.
About time. Are they working on a transporter too?
ITS HAPPENING
I doubt the rotors can float it down if the engines fail.
So, a plane? ✈️
They should really take those giant ass people mowers and put them in a wire cage or something.
Good. Now I can die happy in the knowledge that flying cars are finally a reality.
2020
According to the Jetsons, we’re 42years ahead of schedule.
The world is not ready for this
This technology is so exciting!
That’s not a ”car” - nor a test “drive”. It‘s a test flight of a manned drone, more like a helicopter. Who writes this crap? donlemon
It Toyota
It’s an helicopter not a car. Cars only travel on the ground using tires.
Very nice.
Meanwhile America can’t send letters, pay unemployment and barely feed its citizens... ugh. Can we get some actual leadership soon?
I hope it comes with a robot dog named Elroy!

Good way to die
This is a mini plane.
There is an Asian joke to be made here.. but everybody is too sensitive.
It’s about time!!!!
Positive news and 2020?
That’s basically a futuristic helicopter.
Wow, I remember a time where it would have been the US of A who would make these big breakthroughs. But we can't even get away fr archaic fossil fuel or build up a decaying infrastructure. Rather then leading the world to the future, we are basically a country of peons.
Want one.
Many things could go wrong with this one
That’s a giant drone with a chair
I would be very nervous if something this big keep flying over my head
Nigeria is still battling with railway lines 🤦🏽♂️😢
FelipeBudinich cacha
merry1na Looks more of a flying toilet
George Jetson eat your heart out
Its basically a drone. I have seen those before.
Welcome to the age of Star Wars
About time
Wow
Karl Benz invented the first car in 1886 and we still haven't perfected terrain driving. Let's pump the brakes on taking to the skies.
Seems like America is jealous of this tech.
Great. Most drivers can barely handle two dimensions, so yeah, let's go ahead and give them a third to negotiate.
Meet George Jetson
Been there ! Done that !
That’s not a “car”. It’s just a drone. Also not a “test drive”, it‘s a test flight. Whos writes this crap? donlemon ?
If you watch the Jetsons, there's only 50 cars in the sky. Imagine if everyone had one.
